A german KDE user pointed out that the userguide chapter about groupware and kontact has some personal opinions in it he found irritating. I think he's right. This is IMHO not appropriate for the KDE userguide. An example:

"But that can cause initial setup troubles. For a newbie like me it means: a 
long long frustrating nightmare, and too much complexity to manage once 
working. So no, thanks, I'll go to simple <acronym>IMAP</acronym>."

Furthermore the author sometimes uses the first person singular.

There's also at least one distribution specific part:

"# <userinput><command>apt-get</command> <command>install</command> 
cyrus21-imapd cyrus21-common cyrus21-admin cyrus21-client sasl-bin 
sasl2-bin</userinput> \n
<computeroutput>Installing cyrus21-imapd...</computeroutput><lineannotation>
The installer asks something I've not understood about an search address... I 
just pressed <keycap>Enter</keycap></lineannotation>."

These instructions are useless and irritating for users of other distributions which do do not use Debian.

I suggest to rework this chapter a bit.
