Possibly.... some settings in Kmail are not saved if made from within 
Kontact (Kub 8.10) but are ok if Kmail is run on it's own (though hidden 
when using Kontact). So maybe !!! if you run KAddressBook outside of 
Kontact, do the changes, save and close, then run Kontact again they may !!! 
survive. Note, I haven't tried this, it's just an idea.
