Kontact
KDE
Kontact is a personal information manager and groupware software suite
for KDE.
It unites mature and proven applications including KMail,
KAddressBook, KOrganizer, KNode,
and KNotes.
Consequently, the package supports calendars, contacts, notes,
to-do lists, news, and email. It uses KParts to embed the various
applications into the
container application.
The components of KDE
Kontact are tailored to work well with each other. This results in
features such as intuitive drag-and-drop between appointment handling,
task lists and contacts.
