You can open the downloaded files from there directly. To
clean up the history of downloaded files, click Clean Up.

Managing Passwords with KWallet
When you select the option to remember a password in a
KDE application for the first time (for your e-mail account,
for example), the KWallet wizard starts by default. KWallet
is a password management tool that can collect all pass-
words and store them in an encrypted file.
To activate KWallet, select Basic Setup and click Next. Select
Yes, I wish to use the KDE wallet to store my personal infor-
mation and enter a password. This is your master password
to open KWallet. It cannot be recovered if you forget it.
Click Finish to close the wizard. After this initial configura-
tion, you can open your wallet at any time to view, search,
delete, or create entries. Normally you do not need to insert
an entry manually. KDE recognizes if a resource requires
authentication and KWallet starts automatically, prompting
you for the KWallet password.
E-Mailing and Calendaring
For reading and managing your mails and appointments in
SUSE Linux Enterprise, you can use Kontact as your personal
information management tool (PIM). Kontact combines KDE
applications like KMail, KOrganizer, and KAddressBook into
a single interface. This gives you easy access to your e-mail,
calendar, address book, and other PIM functionality.
