+<para>&kontact; is the integrated solution for personal information
+management. It combines the well-known &kde; applications for email,
+scheduling, address book, notes, and newsgroups (&kmail;, &korganizer;,
+&kaddressbook;, &knotes;, and &knode;)
+into a single interface. Being
+based on a true component framework &kontact; provides exactly the
+same functionality as the stand-alone applications, and adds more
+features, by making use of the integrated way &kontact; runs the
+applications as components. Users still retain the choice of which
+applications are run within &kontact; and which are run
+stand-alone.</para>
+
+<para>In addition to the functionality of the individual applications &kontact;

+<title>The &kontact; Main Window</title>
+
+<para>The main window consists of a side pane on the left showing the icons of
+the available components, the main view on the right which contains the main
+window of the active component and the usual menu, tool and status bars.</para>
+
+<sect1 id="side-pane">
+<title>Side Pane</title>
+
+<para>The side pane serves multiple purposes. It allows for switching between
+components, shows which component is active and serves as the target for
+drag &amp; drop operations to the different applications.</para>

+&kontact;'s Side Pane
+</para>
+</caption>
+</mediaobject>
+</screenshot>
+
+<para>For switching between components simply click on the corresponding icon.
+The main window of the component is shown and the menu, tool and status bars are
+adapted to reflect the functionality of the active component. If you activate a
+component for the first time there might be a small delay until the main view
+is changed, because components are loaded on demand. This means you don't waste
+memory for components you don't use.</para>
+
+<para>The icons in the side pane can also be used as targets for drag &amp; drop
+operations. For example, you can drag a mail from the mail part and
+drop it on the icon of the todo list or the calendar to create a todo
+or event associated with this mail.</para>
+
+<para>Finally, you can change the size of the icons in the side pane.
+Right-clicking on the side pane will give you the option to use Large,
+Normal, or Small icons, as well as the option to use text only
+instead of icons.</para>
+
+<para>If you dislike the sidebar, you can simply hide it by dragging the
+splitter. An alternative navigation between part is provided by the
+<guilabel>navigator</guilabel> toolbar, which will always be aligned on the opposite
+side of the mainwindow from the side pane.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+
+<sect1 id="main-view">
+
+<title>Main View</title>
+
+<para>The view on the right which takes up most of the area of the &kontact;
+main window shows the active component. This exactly corresponds to the main
+window the component uses when run as a stand-alone application. The highlighted
+icon in the side pane indicates to which application the main view belongs.
+&kontact; remembers which component was active, so when starting &kontact; the
+view initially shows which one was activated when exiting &kontact; the last
+time.</para>

+
+<para>In addition, there are two ways of overriding the component that &kontact;
+starts in. The first is as an argument to the &kontact; program call
+(see <xref linkend="command-line"/>). The second is a setting in the
+&kontact; Settings dialog that will allow you to always start &kontact; in a
+certain mode.</para>

+
+<sect1 id="bars">
+<title>Menu, Tool and Status Bars</title>
+
+<para>The menu, tool and status bars are adapted to the active component. That
+means that, in addition to some common functions like the help menu which are
+shown for all components, there are actions which are switched when the active
+component is switched. These actions available for each component are the same
+ones which are also available when running the application stand-alone.</para>

+<para>A special action common to all components is the
+<guimenuitem>New</guimenuitem> action. It allows creation of new objects
+like emails, contacts, appointments and todos independently of which
+component is active. The component responsible for processing the
+selected object is started, if required, and takes over the created
+object.</para>

+Another common action is the <guimenuitem>Synchronize</guimenuitem> action. It synchronizes mail and groupware folders depending on the active component. E.g., if the Calendar component is active, the button synchronizes all Calendar folders. In the Summary, the action synchronizes all folders independent of their content.

+<title>Repositioning Summary View Components</title>
+
+<para>The Summary View allows you to change where the
+components are in the view itself. So, if you prefer to
+have your Special Dates in the lower left and your to-dos in
+the upper right, you can rearrange the summary view to
+reflect that.</para>
+
+<para>Repositioning components in the Summary View is as simple
+as dragging them to the new location you want them to be in. Click and
+hold on the grey title area of the component and drag the component
+to wherever you want it to be. Note that this positioning is done
+compared to other components. So you can move the Mail component to be
+below the to-do component in the view, but you can't place it in a specific
+position. If you have only one component in your summary view, the only option
+is to move it between the two columns of the view; two components can either
+be two in one column or one in each column; and so on and so forth. Whenever
+you are dragging a component, you will see a small preview box following your
