+<title>Sharing data with &kontact; via <acronym>IMAP</acronym></title>
+
+<sect1 id="kontact-imap-intro">
+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>For my small office, I was looking for a long time for a
+<acronym>PIM</acronym> solution that let me share data, so my secretary and
+I can share contacts, appointments and so on. Being a &kde; user, I've heard
+about the Kroupware project and wait its completion. But when I saw how
+complicated is the architecture and setup of the
+<application>Kolab</application> server 1.0 (the server side of the
+project), I gave up, waiting for an easier to deploy
+<application>Kolab</application> 2.0. In any case, the
+<application>Kolab</application> stuff was clearly too much for my
+needs. Fortunately in the &kde; wiki I've found some piece of
+<acronym>IRC</acronym> conversation where they were talking about sharing
+data without the <application>Kolab</application> infrastructure... mmm so
+interesting!</para>
+
+<para>For small offices and needs, you can have &kontact; use shared data
+without the need of installing the <application>Kolab</application> server
+or another groupware backend. It can work with just an
+<acronym>IMAP</acronym> server, that can be easily set up.</para>
+
+<para>My scenario is a server with Debian unstable and &kde; 3.4. I access
+&kontact; and other fabulous GNU/Linux apps from windows using Cygwin/X,
+while waiting Wine project to be able to run the last Windows programs I
+need (and that are not available under GNU/Linux). I want to share contacts,
+events, todo, notes with my secretary.</para>

+
+<sect1 id="kontact-imap-whatis">
+<title>What is <acronym>IMAP</acronym></title>
+
+<para>This definition is from the <ulink
+url="http://computeruser.com">ComputerUser.com High-Tech Dictionary:</ulink>
+<blockquote><para>Internet Message Access Protocol. A protocol that allows a
+user to perform certain electronic mail functions on a remote server rather
+than on a local computer. Through IMAP the user can create, delete, or
+rename mailboxes; get new messages; delete messages; and perform search
+functions on mail. A separate protocol is required for sending mail. Also
+called Internet Mail Access Protocol.</para></blockquote> </para>
+
+<para>So it can be considered a data storage. To use it you you need an
+<acronym>IMAP</acronym> server, such as <application>Cyrus</application>,
+<application>Courier</application> or <application>UW</application>.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1 id="kontact-kolab-or-imap">
+<title><application>Kolab</application> or <acronym>IMAP</acronym>?</title>
+
+<para><application>Kolab</application> brings the ability to share data
+between different clients. It makes possible for your secretary to use
+<application>Outlook</application> and you use &kontact;, for
+instance.</para>
+
+<para>You will have a configuration interface which does user management, mail
+account setup, a central <acronym>LDAP</acronym> config data and addressbook
+server, spam and virus filtering, vacation scripts, free busy list handling,
+resource handling (rooms, cars), groups, distribution lists, automatic
+invitation handling, &etc;</para>
+
+<para>But that can cause initial setup troubles. For a newbie like me it
+means: a long long frustrating nightmare, and too much complexity to manage
+once working. So no, thanks, I'll go to simple
+<acronym>IMAP</acronym>.</para>

+
+<para>So login to &kde; with the first <quote>real user</quote> account you
+want to provide groupware functionality to.</para>
+
+<para>Let's create the IMAP account in &kmail;.</para>
+
+<para>Run &kontact; and select <guilabel>Mail</guilabel> (the &kmail;
+component). From the menu choose
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure KMail
+</guimenuitem><guilabel>Accounts</guilabel><guilabel>Receiving</guilabel></menuchoice> tab, press the <guibutton>Add...</guibutton> button. You will then be
+prompted for the type of your email account, and select
+<guilabel>disconnected IMAP</guilabel> (not just

+<para>Check <guilabel>store IMAP password</guilabel>
+so you will not be asked for it next time you run &kontact;. Check the
+<guilabel>Enable interval mail checking</guilabel> and set a value in
+minutes.</para>
+
+<para>Note that we have checked the <guilabel>disconnected IMAP</guilabel>
+type account. This has the effect that a copy of the groupware data is
+stored <quote>locally</quote> to the client (under the home folder), and it
+is synchronized every time the client connects. This seems very inefficient,
+since your data is duplicated many times (&ie; if you have 10 users that use
+&kontact;, you have 10+1 times the data), but it is the only way to make
+things run fast, because at every connection &kontact; has to fetch all data
+and have &korganizer; and &kaddressbook; interpret it. If you use
+<quote>disconnected IMAP</quote> data is cached locally, and only the
+<quote>delta</quote> (&ie; the data that has changed) is sent.</para>
+
+<para>On the other end, if your users run &korganizer; on the same PC that
+runs the <acronym>IMAP</acronym> server, it seems reasonable to use
+<acronym>IMAP</acronym> (that is called <quote>online IMAP</quote>) to save
+space, since transfer speed should not be an issue. But unfortunately this
+does not work because &kontact; does not update automatically the
+<guilabel>Calendar</guilabel> folder in <quote>online IMAP</quote>, so you
+are not updated when someone adds events (you must manually switch to
+&kmail; application and click on the <guilabel>Calendar</guilabel>
+folder). In addition, at start up when it does read
+<guilabel>Calendar</guilabel> folders, you may see a tremendous flicker and
+slow data updates.</para>
+
+<para>Now we have to tell &kontact; to use <acronym>IMAP</acronym> as the
+data source for it's various components. From the &kmenu;, choose
+<guimenuitem>Run command</guimenuitem>, run <userinput><command>kcmshell
+kresources</command></userinput>. In the combo box select
+<guilabel>Contacts</guilabel>, then press the <guibutton>Add...</guibutton>
+button, and choose <guilabel>Addressbook on IMAP Server via KMail</guilabel>. Then select that new line and
+press <guibutton>Use as Standard</guibutton> button. Do the same for
+<guilabel>Calendar</guilabel> and <guilabel>Notes</guilabel>.</para>
+
+<para>Now we have to enable the &kmail; (and as a consequence, the whole
+&kontact;) groupware functionality:</para>
+
+<procedure>
+<step>
+<para>Choose from the menu
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure

+<step>
+<para>Choose <guilabel>English</guilabel> as <guilabel>Language of the
+groupware folders</guilabel> (this is in case you already have the folders
+in the <acronym>IMAP</acronym> server created by a different program in a
+different language).</para>
+</step>
+<step>
+<para>Now move to <guilabel>Resource folder are in account</guilabel> and
+select the the <guilabel>Inbox</guilabel> subfolder of the
+<guilabel>office_gwdata</guilabel> folder.</para>
+<para>Leave <guilabel>Hide groupware folders</guilabel> unchecked for now,
+so we can see that happens. You can return here and check it once everything
+is clear.</para>
+</step>
+<step>
+<para>When you press OK you are prompted with:

+<para>If you do not want this, press <guibutton>No</guibutton>, and the
