Yes - arts, kdelibs, kdebase, kroupware-kdepim and kroupware-kdenetwork is=
=20
what's needed.

It is possible to install KDE applications in another place than the KDE=20
libs, but I don't know how. Anyway, the kroupware_branch kdepim and=20
kdenetwork is a replacement for the normal KDE ones, not an addon.

Your korganizer and kaddressbook data will be untouched, if you configure=20
the kroupware apps to use the IMAP storage. You even have to import the=20
current data in them manually.

If you have KMail IMAP accounts, you will do well by taking a backup of=20
your current kmail settings, delete the IMAP account and delete=20
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap. This way you can start with completely=20
fresh KMail IMAP folders.

If you can take full backup of the IMAP folders and the contents of kmails=
=20
IMAP dir (as above), I'd love to hear what actually happens when you just=20
change the KMail account from normal IMAP to disconnected IMAP. The=20
server contents should be fine, but I'm very much interested in how KMail=20
behaves. Hmm, maybe I should compile a standard KDE 3.1.1 KMail just to=20
see this. But be sure to tell how it went.

Bo.
