Correct, and OL is usually not on the top of the list people want to get 
rid of. Exchange is though :-)

All these small shortcuts are some that will be introduced over time. The 
kroupware_branch in KDE cvs is probably not going to be the place for it, 
so it will have to wait for Kontact. There are thousands of these kinds 
of nice-to-have features, that all take a surprising amount of time to 
do. KMail and KOrganizer has these kinds of features, but only 
separately. Time will work for us on this - remember that Kolab is at 
version 1.0.
