Description

KAddressBook is a graphical interface to organizing the addresses and contact information of family, friends, business partners, etc. It integrates with KDE, allowing interoperability with other KDE programs, including the e-mail client KMail -- allowing one-click access to composing an e-mail -- and the instant messenger Kopete -- showing the online status of and easy access to instant messenging contacts. It can be synchronized with other software or device using Kitchensync and OpenSync.
