== 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.
Of course the simplest way is just to keep your whole home directory. :-)

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.
On small screens, you may wish to reclaim the space used by the Kontact sidebar. You can replace it with an (editable) toolbar:
::*适合Kontact使用者和开发人员的频道 - #kontact
#Settings->Toolbars->Navigator [x]
{{KontactInstall|Kontact}}
#Drag the left panel closed using the splitter between it and the main panel, job done.
=== Enabling SOCKS support in KMail and KNode ===
==更多信息==
Unlike KDE 3, KDE 4 does not have built-in SOCKS support yet. However, it is still possible and relatively simple to make KMail and KNode use a SOCKS 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 网站]
<blockquote>
* [https://docs.kde.org/index.php?language=en&package=pim KDE PIM软件的使用手册]
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 available in all major Linux distribution repositories, as tarballs, and soon a Flatpak version will also be available. Ancient versions were compatible with Windows, the Kontact team is looking for help to improve Windows support. For more information look at the Kontact download page.
