Make Kaddressbook Kontact Version 4.4.1 access contacts

[Fintan]

As the title suggests here is a quick solution (work around) for making contacts visible when writing a new mail.
I did this:
Quote from annew over at the kde forums:

You've hit a known bug, but it's easy to deal with (though it could come back). See http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi#I_ca...y_Address_Book

Once you've done that, when you hit Select you should be able to choose which addressbook to use, or even All, which is a blend of the addressbooks. However, this is a rapidly moving application, so exactly what you see will depend on the exact version that you are running.

I did this for my gmail contacts and had to reboot to get it to work.

Hope this helps someone
