Contacts can also be imported in a variety of formats. Use File → Import and select
the desired format. Then select the file to import.
4.3.2 Making a Distribution List
If you frequently send e-mail messages to the same group of people, a distribution list
enables you to store multiple e-mail addresses as a single contact item so that you do
not need to enter each name individually in every e-mail you send to that group. First,
click Settings → Show Extension Bar → Distribution List Editor. In the new section
that appears, click New List. Enter a name for the list then click OK. Add contacts to
the list by dragging them from the address list and dropping them in the distribution
list window. Use this list like you would an individual contact when creating an e-mail.
4.3.3 Adding Address Books
IMPORTANT: Groupware Address Books
The best way to add groupware resources is with the Groupware Wizard, a
separate tool. To use it, close Kontact then run groupwarewizard in a
command line or from the Office group of the KDE menu. Select the server
type, such as SLOX, GroupWise, or Exchange, from the list offered then enter
the address and authentication data. The wizard then adds the available re-
sources to Kontact.
Kontact can access multiple address books, such as shared ones offered by Novell
GroupWise or an LDAP server. Select Settings → Show Extension Bar → Address
Books to view the current address books. Press Add to add one then select the type and
enter the required information.
The check boxes in front of the books show the activation status of each address book.
To prevent the display of a book without deleting it, uncheck it. Remove deletes the
selected book from the list.
