           Summary: gui-option to remove the adressbook lock
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: arne_bab web de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9 CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=k8", CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu", USE="crypt -arts -debug -kdeenablefinal -kdehiddenvisibility -xinerama"
OS:                Linux

Sometimes kmail isn't able to store email adresses in the addressbook, because the addressbook is locked (I have quite many programs in testing, for example the x-server, so I experience more crashes than you'd have in normal operation). 

Removing "~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/lock/*" from the Konsole (as my user) solves the problem, but I think the error dialog which pops up when the addressbook is locked should contain a button or a similar option to remove the locks from the gui. 

Restarting KDE doesn't remove the lock, same for closing kmail. 

And besides (since I didn't say it till now): Thank you very much for your effort and for the great work you do! 
I really like working with KMail!

Best wishes, 
Arne Babenhauserheide
