Konversation: Error 65 and 3

I haven't used Konversation for a few weeks, and when I did.. Konversation returned this error:
Server sent error 65: Access to restricted port in POST denied.
and
Server sent error 3: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ". .



It's been like this for three weeks and I was forced to rely on IRSSI and IceApe's Chatzilla. My cravings for Konversation grew stronger that I finally ranted about this at #ubuntu-ph. I gave Jucato and Ahmuck this error:

and this

It was Jucato who asked the maintainer of Konversation (Sho) what's happening.

Jucato: That has something to do with the KAddressBook integration, from the looks of it
Jucato: My guess is that he's using eGroupWare or IMAP to store his address book on a server, and something goes wrong in KIMProxy
Jucato: If it's a dialog box, you can be fairly sure it's not Konversation, we don't use them
Jucato: "kresources/egroupware/kabc_resourcexmlrpc.cpp: QString msg = i18n( "Server sent error %1: %2" ).arg( error ).arg( errorMsg );" btw
from kdepim
Jucato: Perhaps he set up eGroupware, but removed eGroupWare again but forgot to remove the resources in Kontact/KAddressBook

So there it is.... the solution to my problem. Sho was right.. I used (past tense) eGroupware and forgot to delete any reference to it from KAddressbook.

I deleted it.. and it worked. Ha! I said my goodbye to Chatzilla (no.. I'm still fond of IRSSI) and went to bed. This all happened last night.

For those curious how to remove the XML-RPC entry in KAddressbook, just go to Settings > Show Extension > Address Books. That's where you delete it.
