Kontact 1.0 (part of KDE 3.3) supports Kolab 1.0.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Full support and most uptodate-support for Kolab 2.0 is provided
by a Kontact (KDE-PIM) version in CVS under the "proko2" branch.
Most of the Kolab-2 support will appear in the Kontact version
that is going to be release with KDE 3.4. <br>
This branch is actively maintained by Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB
and Intevation GmbH.

<h2>Microsoft Outlook Plugins</h2>

<em>Note that all stable Plugins at time of writing
will make Outlook save E-Mails over dIMAP containing TNEF with MAPI BLOB
objects. Thus you cannot use Outlook and a KDE Kolab Client
interchangingly on a specific account.</em>

<h3>Toltec Connector</h3>
