Documentation for Kontact is [https://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdepim/kontact/index.html also available].
The components of KDE Kontact are tailored to work well with each other. This results in features like intuitive drag-and-drop between appointment handling, task lists and contacts. 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 addressbooks 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.

==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. :-)


Just a word of warning. If the directory naming is different between Desktops
<!--T:32-->
or between the two versions of Fedora, this will not work as there are
[[Category:Office]]
references to the directories within the config files. This means that if the
</translate>
files were in a .kde directory, you cannot just put them in a .kde4 directory
without editing the references within the config files.

Components

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.
