How do I save entries in the addressbook in Pooka? When I click configure addressbook menu option, it shows the address book editor. I created a new address book, set the type to file under the configuration menu and added a few addresses under the addesses tab. I applied the changes and closed the window. When I reopen the addressbook editor, all the addresses I entered are gone, but it remembers the address book I created.
Is this a bug or am I doing this the wrong way?
Thanks,

The address book is still somewhere around alpha quality. I keep hoping that someone else will come in and fix it up so that I don't have to. :)
Anyway. The way that I work the address book creation goes like this:
First, bring up the Address Book editor and click 'Add'. Name your Address Book. It should appear in the left window.
Second, choose 'Type' as 'file' (ldap isn't supported yet), and then click 'Edit'. Choose or create your file.
Third, to be safe, click on 'OK'. This will make sure that the AddressBook gets registered properly.
Fourth, go back into the Address Book editor. Choose your new Address Book, and then go under Addresses. Add some addresses.
Fifth, by default, when you go into the Address Book editor, you don't see any addresses. Do an empty search to find all of your addresses.
Sixth, and most importantly, to use one of your addresses, create a new message, and in the TO, CC, or BCC field, start typing in a name and then hit control-D. It should attempt to complete your address using the Names in your Address Book. You can also use the up and down arrows to flip between addreses.
The Address Book still needs lots of work.
