1. I keep my email on my desktop (my "home server"), running CentOS-5.5 . I run dovecot/IMAP on this desktop, allowing me to access my email on one of several laptops, all running Fedora-13. [I do not normally access email directly on my desktop.] I run an OpenLDAP server on my desktop, with an LDAP address book. I can use this with KMail, in the sense that if I start a "To" line in New Message, possible completions in the LDAP address book are listed. As far as I can tell, this LDAP address book is not copied to my laptop; the information is all stored on the desktop. Is this setup compatible with using KAddressBook-4.4.4 on my laptop? 2. If I go to KMail/KAddressBook on my laptop, I see one contact listed in ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/ and also in ~/.local/share/contacts/ . However, I do not see any of the (many) contacts in my LDAP address book, although this source is listed in KAddressBook=>Settings=>Configure KAddressBook=>LDAP Server Settings Does KMail access the LDAP server directly? Or must it go through KAddressBook? If the latter, why do I not see these entries in KAddressBook? 3. Must I run mysqld on my laptop for KAddressBook? I'm presently running a MySQL server on my desktop. Can I use this? [I'm not clear what is meant by saying that one must be running MySQL. Does it mean mysql-client or mysqld ?] 4. I have two different System Settings icons in my f-menu: a) A System Settings icon at the top level (with Development, Education, etc) b) An entry at level 2 under Settings=>System Settings Is this unusual? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
