[CLUE-Tech] Calendar on KDE desktop

[charlie oriez]

A few days ago Mike Staver raised the question:

"1) The calendar feature.  I like sendmail for linux a lot, and know it
well.  Is there a way to set up a calendar feature with sendmail using
netscape messenger?  Or is there some other mail client that people like
for windows that plays nice with a linux mail server?"

At yesterday's installfest I upgraded from the Mandrake 8.0 distro to the 8.2 
distro.  Included in the KDE desktop for 8.2 is a calendar function that has 
the look and feel of Outhouse's calendar.  I see no apparent differences in 
either how it looks or how it works, so far.

I havent played with it alot yet.  

I use kmail as my mail client.

Korganizer interacts with Konqueror and also has a Palm interaction (Palm doc 
not yet written).  It supports hot keys and drag-n-drop.  I've dragged / 
dropped from kmail.  It also supports file import from lcal and outlook.

Also:

My ISP (Nilenet.com) uses FreeBSD rather than linux.  However, my wife seems 
to have no problems using Outlook with it.  They also have Sendmail as their 
mail server.  The only problem I have had accessing them with a Windows set 
of clients is that wordpad/notepad put funky control characters in my 
.procmailrc file which cause the logfile to be not found when I try to get it 
or delete it.  

Specs:

KDE release is v2.2.2  
Korganizer release is v2.2.1  
Doc and download link is at http://korganizer.kde.org/
