Do you mean Kontact 1.4.2?

before I read this e-mail I was fiddling with it and I decided to try the 
akonadi Address book and it lets me save addresses, but I couldn't test it, 
because when I went to my laptop, somehow kontact is broken. in the past 
couple days, things have became a mess on my computers and I know they are 
from the updates I've been doing.

I'm probably going to have to do a fresh install.

On my desktop, my mouse is so annoying me, i'm getting so mad at it. When I 
single click it's double clicking, I've tried adjusting the click rate, etc, 
etc but nothing. sometimes I can't even move windows. And on my laptop, when I 
log into kde, kmail automatically starts, when I close it, it automatically 
starts back up! I've even killed it off using it's PID and it still comes back 
and Kontact is only half baked and doesn't work anymore on the laptop.

So It looks like i'm going to have to put off getting that "perfect" IMAP 
setup until I can get a stable system again.
