That's what the migrator does - and if you have that directory and it has
vcf file there, it's done its work. Try
http://userbase.kde.org/KAddressBook.
Hi,
To get a clear picture of my contacts after the migration I:
1) removed all "recently used addresses" in KMail (Settings -> Configure
KMail
-> Composer -> Edit Recent Addresses ...)
2) Disable the 'old' Default Address book in KDE Resources (after adding the
Akonadi-resource)
3) Restart KMail to be sure no old addresses are left in memory.
4) (Re)moved all files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc
I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I like to clean up old, not used stuff :-)
Hope this helps.

Since then, in the light of what we found, I've updated the userbase pages.
Hopefully the new version is clearer.
And please, Jan, if you want people to help, mind your manners. Insulting
people never helps.
