[kdepim-users] How can I add a distribution list?

[Martin]

I now appear to have solved this. In Contacts, beneath the Distribution list 
pane, there is an Addressbook pane. In this pane there are two items Akonadi 
Compatibility Resource and Default Addressbook. The second of these was 
unchecked. When I checked it I was then offered the option, when clicking 
create new distribution list, of creating it in either Akonadi or Default 
Addressbook. Unsure which to choose (any advice? I have no idea what the 
differene means...) I chose Default Addressbook, and I have been able to have 
distribution list.

BTW, with both Akonadi and Default Addressbook clicked all Contacts in the top 
pane appear to be duplicated.... (again, I have no idea what this may mean, or 
what implications it may have!).

Best, Martin
