It is unfortunately not possible to use both KMail and Outlook to access=20
the same account. The reason for this is that Outlook stores everything=20
in a proprietary format in the folders that KMail can only to some extend=20
work on.

The people using the clients must decide which of the clients they want to=
=20
use, and stick to it :-(
