Since I'm using Android, that made the most sense for me. Thanks for your replies guys, I know that kdepim is ropey and following some bugs on the upgrade from=20 KDE-3.5 I tried to wean myself off it by trying different mail clients. I = did=20 not succeed. Nothing came close to it for my needs and wants. One day I'll spend some more time/effort to learn the shortcuts for mutt. = =20 Until then I'll have to be more careful with my backups and advise all of t= he=20 users who depend on my services to do the same! I did not manually edit anything on the addressbook in question (and the us= er=20 in question would not know how to do that). I am told that she just presse= d=20 the F5 button and bang! All contacts gone in an instant! To me this is=20 rather catastrophic as a failure mode and I cannot categorise this software= as=20 anything better than amateurish. Of course I can't code, so I get what's=20 there for now ... =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart3123609.tmiWFh2PeE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk7FdkMACgkQVTDTR3kpaLaWDwCfQ1Sbh+DKCnh+HOoK0bDAxFix nAgAoOlpehOi6Jk/Q5JHi6AY/khGaL5Q =nSRs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3123609.tmiWFh2PeE--
