after the upgrade to R14, my kmail address book seems to have disappeared.
(frankly, i've been a little cross ever since the simple
one-line-per-address, plain text address book was deprecated ages ago in
an attempt to be More Like Windows, but never mind.)
when i sought to use it after the upgrade, it was entirely empty.
did i miss a step? did it get moved? any recovery possible?
thanks.

addressbook should be
$HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
maybe your old addressbook is in another location.
you should be able to find it via
find $HOME -name std.vcf

hmmm. copied std.vcf from $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kabc/ to
$HOME/.trinity/share/apps/tdeabc/ and my address book has come back.
is this anomalous?

good :)

no.
of course, would be better if this happened automatically during the update-
process, though.

btw. this simple remedy is still a significant advantage of kdepim from
trinity over the current kde4 version, where disaster recovery can easily
result in a complete nightmare, as just too many things can go wrong with no
comprehensive recipes for users available.
on the other side, things like global search via baloo or google ressources
are handy, admittedly.

during my admittedly brief foray into post-3x kde, i found nothing i wanted
and much i didn't want. it made me wonder what the developers supposed it
was to be good for.
so the occasional little bump -- such as the briefly lost addressbook -- is
a small price to pay for a solid desktop. (though a little informational
pop-up with instructions as to addressbook migration would be helpful, if
there's some reason why the process can't be or shouldn't be automated.)

There should not be any price to pay for a solid desktop :-)
That might be something that slipped through testing and renaming.
Could you file a bug report about this, so it doesn't get forgotten?
Thanks
