IntroductionThe KMail Team welcomes you to KMail, a user-friendly email client for the K Desktop Environment. Our goal is to make KMail a program that is beautiful and intuitive without sacrificing power.
If you have never set up an email client on a UNIX® system before, we suggest that you read through the Getting Started section first so that your setup goes smoothly.
Since most people do not read documentation anyway, here is a collection of the most helpful tips:
You do not have to use your mouse to use KMail. Everything can be done by using Keyboard Shortcuts.
Although KMail can be considered reliable you should keep backups of your messages, i.e. just copy the files and folders listed in the FAQ to a safe place.
Note
