           Summary: Kontact does not provide an encryption option for
                    personal data store e.g. in the address book
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kai.franken at t-online.de


Version:           1.11.1 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1) "release 106",
KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae

Basically the short description already tells the full story. If you use
Kontact on a notebook you might wish to protect all data trusted e.g. to the
address book or stored in KMail against unauthorised viewers in case your
machine is "found" by someone else. The only solution I have found so far is to
encrypt a complete partition. To me this seems oversized and too time-consuming
a solution since I assume that Kontact stores all data to a single file which
could easily be encrypted (like a text file in OOo-Writer).
