OK, thanks. I'll look again at Kontact, and see if it is possible (in a relatively easy way) to use with contacts on a remote server. This seems to me such an obvious need that I am surprised it does not get top priority in Fedora/KDE. I think I can say that if it is possible to do this in Fedora/KDE then it is certainly not obvious, or well-documented if documented at all. Currently I use an ugly mixture of openLDAP and Google contacts to make contacts available on my home network (including smart phones). But one of the problems with this is that there seems to be no direct way of adding contacts from within KMail or KAddressBook. Bizarrely, I can access my openLDAP contacts in KMail, but don't seem able to in Kontact or KAddressBook. (The Search facility in both the latter is extraordinarily bad.) Maybe something like phpMyAdmin or phpLDAPadmin to access and edit contacts on a server would be nice. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
