Abstract

KAddressBook provides quick and comfortable access to all address data of your contacts. As well as managing your local address data, KAddressBook can access, if available, a central LDAP server that hosts contact data for your entire department or your entire company. KAddressBook supports the import and export of data in several formats, including vCard, CSV, and MS-Exchange, ensuring smooth interaction with other programs.

7.1. Starting the Program

KAddressBook can be started independently from the main menu, from the appointment scheduler KOrganizer, or the mail program KMail. On start-up, the KDE Address Book window consists of three frames, as shown in Figure 7.1. “KAddressBook Main Window”. The top frame contains the menu and toolbars. The two lower frames contain the current list of contacts and the address data of the currently selected contact.
