KDE Kontact
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
KDE Kontact is a PIM (Personal Information Management) suite. It provides an email client, calendaring, meeting scheduling, a task list, contact management and syncing functionality by integrating existing KDE PIM applications (called components in the context) using the powerful KParts technology. Most components are applications that have been shipped with KDE for a long time, and are thus very mature.

it bothers me, that I don't have a menu bar in Kontact on my latop. I'm on Manjaro. On my desktop Kontact works well with the same Manjaro edition as here on my laptop. Both times Linux Manjaro 18.0.2
On the other hand I had the same probleme with Kubuntu. But I leaved it ;).
How to go on?

Often I tab over, while I've got a project compiling, to check e-mail, and the Kontact window is literally blank because it is frozen while retrieving email and filtering it. Lately, for some resaon, I've also seen it freeze for a second or two, then return to normal.
Right now I'm ripping a CD with KAudioCreator, and Kontact was frozen when I opened the tab in my browser and has stayed frozen while I searched to find this page, then log in, then write this entire message (otherwise I'd specify what version I'm using, but I can't get the version because it's been frozen for over 3 minutes now).
Has this issue been looked at? Why can't the filtering be done as a separate thread? I've got a computer with 2 Gig of memory and a fast chip. Why can't Kontact handle this without freezing up? Is there anything I can do to take care of this?
As it is, it seems to be getting worse, which could be my imagination, but this kind of activity is so frustrating I'm close to calling it unusable in a professional environment and switching to something else. I'm not threatening, but I hate to see an app that's been great for me having problems like this.
Thanks for any suggestions.

This seems to be an old problem dating back to 2001 which raises it's ugly head occassionally but has never been fixed.
Sadly, because I do like it, Kontact is now utterly useless to me and I can't find a word of help or even acknwodlegemnt of a probem.
Does no one support this??????

Maybe this is not the forum to ask about problems -- but wouldn't someone at least tell us where to go for that? I'd think it would matter that there are serious issues on some systems, but this looks more like an announcement page and the forum is just for looks.
If anyone can tell us where to go to actually get help with Kontact, it would be appreciated!

anyway...
I'd love if I could link to an email from a note, or from a task, or from an event (in the calendar of course..)
Very often I get an email, but cannot act on it immediately, so i create a task, a note or a calendar event. I'd like to reserve the area in the note, task or calendar event for my thoughts or something to remind me of whatever, but then link to the email...
This would come in very handy when I want a task/note/event to link to an email with an attachment - it is quite often that I need to refer to something that is attached to an email...but just want to leave it attached to the email & not anywhere else in my file system.

I guess you would welcome some suggestions among these:
1-To have the possibility to group messages by subject/sender/etc in expandaple view (clicking on the + sign).
2-To have the possibillity to drag shortcuts to executables in the navigation bar.
3-To have the possibility to drag shortcuts to files in the navigation bar so people could acces their Documents faster.
4-To have the possibility to send an electronic FAX from Kontact.
5-A must: to have the possibility to customise that famous navigation bar!
(i.e.: to be able to remove some features and add others among a choice).
Keep up the excellent work!

If I put an appointment I would like to share this with my collegues and vice versa.
I'd like to know a simple app. security is no issue here.
Any recommendation?

Just make sure the events you want to share are 'public'.
To let others add events to a shared calendar, simply make the calendar resource writable by them using the standard methods of your environment (file permissions).

let me jump onto this thread .... ;-)
I did this
(share a calendar with other users),
but always when a user edits the
calendar (using Kontact),
the permissions are set to rw------,
(following the ,umask 77' in my .bashrc)
Does somebody know how to fix ?
Thanks.
