OK... This is getting weird. I just created a personal address book, and
then it saved the contact in the address book that I have selected without
asking. In my "Address Book" and my "Personal Address Book" After I
removed the new "Personal Address Book" Things seem to be working just
fine.
A thing that make you go hmmmm.
Strange. Personal Contacts seems to be the default label for the migrated
addressbook. After talking to one of the developers I wrote up what he had
told me on
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_and_AddressBook#Examining_your_Resources
I'm not sure how that tallies with what you saw - does it help at all?
Still, the main thing is that you have it working now, although I'd love to
know the reason.
