            Bug ID: 388845
           Summary: Not all contacts found when adding recipients to an
                    E-Mail
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.7.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: wildcart at tzi.org
  Target Milestone: ---

This is probably a bug in Akonadi rather than in KMail but for a user using
KMail it seem to be bug in KMail. Feel free to assign this bug to Akonadi if
appropriate.

KMail / Akonadi is not able to find all contacts in my address books when
adding recipients to an E-Mail. 

* add an address book and add multiple contacts that share some letters
* write a new E-Mail
* start typing in the recipient field

I would expect to find all contacts starting with / containing the letters
already entered into the recipient field. 

Instead, only a random subset (mostly only one) is returned.


For example: I have two contacts with first names 'Marc' and 'Markus' in the
same address book but only 'Markus' is suggest for completion when entering
'Mar' into the recipient field of KMail's composer. For other combinations of
letters no completions are suggested at all.  This mostly happens at random and
restarting Akonadi multiple times may change the suggestions for a given input.
Different installation I use may or may not return different suggestions from
the same address books across all installations, again this mostly happens at
random.

Also, for some inputs a completion is suggested based on 'Recent Addresses' or
'Contacts found in your data'.

I am not sure if this is relevant or not: I have multiple address books
configured, all of which are DAV resources. All address books are affected and
it does not matter if the combination of letters is only found in one address
book or if the contacts come from different address books.

KMail versions before 5.7.0 have been affected as well, dating back to the
versions of KMail shipped with KDE 4 but it seems to become worse (no hard
evidence though). Also, I can reproduce this on three different computers /
systems that use different version of KMail / KDE (two still using KDE 4).
Removing everything KMail / Akonadi related from these computers and setting up
new accounts / DAV address books does not seem to help.

Thanks for considering
  Christian.
