	I just tried next. 
- Create KDE traditional addressbook: kolab resource from KMail IMAP. I have 
empty list of contacts instead of 160 contacts that really exist.
- create new contact in the address book. New message have been created in 
corresponding imap folder in KMail.
- delete this address book from akonadi console.
- create new similar addressbook again. The contact list is empty again (new 
created message is not present too).
	I checked that message in imap foler corresponds to newly created 
contact.
	So, for me (openSuSE 11.2 (x86_64) all the contacts are absent on 
addressbook.
