Bug#690945: [kmail] Distribution lists do not work as expected
It's connected to the akonadi upgrade to akonadi 1.7.2. This bug is an on and
off for years now (there is somewhere a bugreport at akonadi as well).
Most new installations will not see that, I don't know about upgrades, I ran
into this bug and it was solved with a recommendation from KDE userbase:
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_4.4/Troubleshooting#KAddressBook_upgrade
Scroll down to the chapter "To reset nepomuk and the akonadi system in KMail
2" which suggests:
<pre>
akonadictl stop
rm -rf ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/*
akonadictl start
# we should also clean KDE temporary folders before start KMail
rm -rf /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER /tmp/ksocket-$USER /tmp/kde-$USER
</pre>
But be aware: my addresses and distribution lists were all gone. I'm sure
there is a way to get them back but I cannot be bothered at the moment to
track that problem which might be connected to previous fruitless attempts to
solve this bug.
Greetings
Markus Huber
