To me, anything NOT specifically required for sending/receiving/reading 
email is crap. That means, that calendaring, etc is junk to me as it is not 
directly related to sending/receiving/reading email. Why can we not have a 
"KMail-Lite" as well as a full-featured "Outlook Replacement." To go with a 
Microsoft-centric example, not everyone wants Outlook. Some folks are quite 
happy with Outlook Express. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that 
Outlook does, but it does email just fine. It also does newsgroups, but I 
don't  know of anyone who ever used that feature. :-)

I use Outlook at work for my email so I can have access to the additional 
features such as calendaring, meeting requests, etc. At home, I just want 
email and I *like* the KMail interface. What I don't like is all the 
additional stuff that KMail includes.

As far as export goes, is there any way to export all your contacts at once 
instead of having to export them one  at a time?
