Abstract

KMail is the KDE mail application. In addition to sending and receiving e-mail and using multiple mail protocols, it offers the possibility to configure several custom filters for sorting e-mail messages in individual folders. Encryption, decryption, and signing of e-mail messages can also be handled conveniently in KMail.

12.1. KMail and Kontact

KMail can be displayed along with other applications in one window using the Kontact utility. Refer to 1.4.11. “The Information Manager Kontact” for details about this.
