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).

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.
