So far you can select old multi-vcard file, single-vcard dir and an (untested) sql backend. There is some talk about a possible server approach for most of the pim datas. kaddressbook has a configurable view style front end (tables, icons, cards...) with an instant category filter (show friends, show family). The card input looks like Outlooks contact dialog and is full featured. The addressbook has a printing backend. What else. There is hard work in stabilizing an common KDE sync API based on ksync and kitchen sync. If you compile the ksync backend program you get a tool to sync your bookmarks, calendars and addressbook. KOrganizers support for publishing appointment to other PIM programs is now more compatible. A special highlight is a (free ;-) plugin for accessing an Exchange2000 server. But this is really work in progress and needs tester (*hint*). I hope that file locking is ready for 3.1 so that you can put one central adressbook, calendar, bookmark, etc. file on a server and use this from multiple computers. I have one calender at home and another one at work. Often on both desktops runs an instance of korganizer. Caused by the missing file locking I can not use one file for both instances. Other stuff like Outlook-like integration of the pim apps and kpilot is out of my personal interests so I don't know much about recent improvements.

There is some talk about a possible server approach for most of the pim datas This would be very great. The mail problem my clients have with KMail is the inabillity to have a shared adressbook. If you could tap into an SQL-server (MySQL comes to mind!) they could all share one adressbook. I would be more than happy to test this feature! For the rest of the KDE team: you are unbelievable! KDE's great... [ Reply To This | View ] Re: KDE-PIM by Stefan Stolz on Saturday 11/Dec/2004, @23:23 I confirm this. The only thing i am waiting very hard for is to connect my mysql addresses to kaddressbook! All other stuff is great for me.
