4.0 Kontact: E-Mailing and Calendaring

Kontact combines the functionality of a number of KDE applications into a convenient, single interface for personal information management. These applications include KMail for e-mail, KOrganizer for the calendar, KAddressBook for contacts, KNode for newsgroups, and KNotes for notes. It is also possible to sync data with external devices, such as handheld device. Kontact integrates easily with the rest of the KDE desktop and connects to a variety of groupware servers. It includes extra features, such as journal entries, Spam and virus filtering, and an RSS reader.

Start Kontact from the main menu. Alternatively, enter kontact in a command line or in the Run Command dialog. You can also open the individual components instead of the combined application if you only need partial functionality.
