== FAQ, Hints and Tips  ==
 
=== Migrating your setup to a new distro  ===
 
In KMail, right click on your Inbox and choose Properties. Go the Maintenance Tab. Have a look at the Location. It has either .kde4 or .kde in the path.
 
Substitute the appropriate path below.
 
You need the following config files:
 
:*.kde4/share/config/emaildefaults
:*.kde4/share/config/emailidentities
:*.kde4/share/config/kmail.eventsrc
:*.kde4/share/config/kmailrc
:*.kde4/share/config/kaddressbookrc
:*.kde4/share/config/kresources/contact
:*.kde4/share/config/korgacrc
:*.kde4/share/config/korganizerrc
:*.kde4/share/config/knotesrc
:*.kde4/share/config/mailtransports
 
and the following directories:
 
:*.kde4/share/apps/kmail
:*.kde4/share/apps/kabc
:*.kde4/share/apps/korganizer
:*.kde4/share/apps/knotes
 
If you use Akregator within Kontact, you will also need:
 
:*.kde4/share/config/akregator.eventsrc
:*.kde4/share/config/akregatorrc
 
and the whole .kde4/share/apps/akregator directory.
 
Of course the simplest way is just to keep your whole home directory.&nbsp;:-)
 
Just a word of warning. If the directory naming is different between Desktops or between the two versions of your distro, this will not work as there are references to the directories within the config files. This means that if the files were in a .kde directory, you cannot just put them in a .kde4 directory without editing the references within the config files.


=== Hiding the Kontact Sidebar ===
and for urgent help, an IRC channel on Libera Chat


On small screens, you may wish to reclaim the space used by the Kontact sidebar. You can replace it with an (editable) toolbar:
*for users and developers of Kontact - #kontact


#Settings-&gt;Toolbars-&gt;Navigator [x]
{{KontactInstall|Kontact}}
#Drag the left panel closed using the splitter between it and the main panel, job done.


=== Enabling SOCKS&nbsp;support in KMail and KNode ===
== More Information ==


Unlike&nbsp;KDE 3, KDE 4 does not have built-in SOCKS&nbsp;support yet. However, it is still possible and relatively simple to make KMail and KNode use a SOCKS&nbsp;proxy, by using [http://proxychains.sf.net proxychains] or other similar tools like [http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/ tsocks] or  [http://www.inet.no/dante/doc/socksify.1.html socksify]. Assuming that proxychains is correctly installed and configured, all you need to do is to open a terminal (e.g. Konsole) and type:
* [https://kontact.kde.org/ Kontact website]
<blockquote>
* [https://docs.kde.org/index.php?language=en&package=pim All the manuals for KDE PIM]
proxychains kdeinit4
</blockquote>
You don't even need to restart KMail/KNode! (You need to type the above command every time you start a new KDE session though).

Kontact is the integrated Personal Information Manager of KDE, but can be used with other systems as well.

It supports email, address books, calendars, tasks, news feeds and much more.

The Kontact suite is the powerful PIM solution of KDE that handles your email, agenda, contacts and other 'personal' data together in one place. Kontact delivers innovations to help you manage your communications more easily, organize your work faster and work together more closely, resulting in more productivity and efficiency in digital collaboration.

Componenten

KDE Kontact supports various groupware servers. When using these servers your workgroup has access to features like shared email folders, group task lists, calendar sharing, central address books and meeting scheduling.

Kontact consists of the Kontact PIM back end and the graphical applications connecting to the back end. Special 'agents' (say a facebook agent) are employed to get new data in and merge it in the existing data set (for example contacts, news). Due to the clean infrastructure new agents are easy to develop.

These programs together form Kontact:
