I need help to find/move Kontact address book after reinstall (SOLVED)

[Cressida]

I reformatted "/" and did a new reinstall of PCL KDE from the CD.  Before I did it I backed up /home to an external drive and left /home on it's own partition.  (I did not reformat /home just left it alone)  When reinstalling I reloaded the same user name and ID number (501) which is the only one I am concerned about.

My problem now is that I need to get the kontact address data to show up in KdePim4 (kontact/kmail).   I thought it would show up since I kept the user ID the same and I did not do anything to the /home partition but it doesn't.  

Can someone help me with what .kde files or directories to I appear to need to find now in order to get my Kontact address book to show up again within kontact?  

 I see (and have read about) ".kde/share/config" and the .../share/apps/.   I think it is one of these two locations but I cannot seem to find the file with the address book either on my /home partition or the backup copy.

Look under the section - Migration

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the link.

It turned out that with the newer versions of Kontact you have to run another package called Kaddressbook.

I never heard of it before.  I found and loaded it from Synaptic and the old addresses turned back up.
