Abstract
Kontact is the client part of Kroupware, the KDE groupware solution which groups together PIM software in a single working environment. This group of tools allows you to organize e-mail, contacts, appointments, tasks, news and notes. When Kontact is connected to a groupware server you can synchronize contact, address and appointment information with other members of your organization.
Kontact is designed to use Kolab, the Kroupware server, as its groupware server. It's also possible to configure Kontact to connect to other servers.
In this chapter we'll show you how to configure Kontact for use with the Kolab server, it will also show you how to use Kontact's mail, address book, calendar and to-do item features. For information on how to configure Kolab see the The Kolab Server chapter of the Server Administration Guide. You can also visit the Kroupware web site.
