I created a Distribution List with the name "Dymond Road". Using the "+" button next to "Distribution Lists" I got the "Edit Distribution List - KAddressBook" dialogue with Name: "New Distribution List". I changed "New Distribution List to "Dymond Road". Then I used the "Distribution list members" dialogue to add list members from the addressbook. After I added a few members, I click "OK" and I see the new distribution list and the members that I just added to it. Everything looks fine. However, when I close the Address Book, and reopen it, the disbribution list "Dymond Road" and all the members of the list have disappeared without a trace. In trying to create the list again, I have had some variation in this behavior. I created the list, closed the Address Book, reopened it, and the list was still there but with only 3 of the names that I had entered. When I re-enter the names that had disappeared they are added to the list, but when I close and reopen the list, they have disappeared again, leaving the only the same 3 names. Thank to Ingo for his thoughts this to date on this issue.
