Thanks for all the input.

Yes, spelling etc. is since long according to UTF-8, the locales are 
set accordingly.

As I said: The problem is with *existing* data in the addressbook 
(not with such I write new). It occurs only on IMAP transport 
configuration. And I have ca. 4000 addresses in the ab, mainly 
German (with umlauts and sharp s), I don't have the time to correct 
all the missing characters manually. Remember: *All* special 
characters are replaced by the same sequence of two dull 
rectangles, so -> no search and replace.

As Ingo pointed out (and I wrote before), it is a known bug since 
January. What I can’t understand is, that there is already a patch 
(separate) and kaddressbook is behaving correctly in the versions 
for KDE 4.0, but it seems to be unsolvable for 3.5.9 -- we had 
about four or five updates since January, but nothing happens.

I wonder
-- could it be that the developers forgot this issue?
-- how could I draw their attention to the importance of 
implementing the patch?

It seems to me, after all I read about it, that it could not be such 
a complicated thing to make the addressbook work correctly. 

Thanks again,
Roland
