<para>
&kaddressbook; has been integrated into the structure of <glossterm linkend="gloss-kmail">&kmail;</glossterm>,
the &kde; email client. So once you add a contact's name to &kaddressbook;, you can address
an email message to that person by just typing in a portion of his name. Or if
you receive an email message from somebody new, you can add him to your address
book with just a few clicks of your mouse.
</para>
<para>
&kaddressbook; also permits you to maintain multiple separate contact lists in a
wide variety of popular address list formats, either on your local hard disk, or
via a resource residing in the cloud. It also supports importing and exporting
contact data in <glossterm linkend="gloss-csv">.csv</glossterm>
(Comma Separated Values), <glossterm linkend="gloss-ldif"><filename class="extension">.ldif</filename></glossterm>
(<glossterm linkend="gloss-ldap"><acronym>LDAP</acronym></glossterm> Data Interchange Format), and
<glossterm linkend="gloss-vcf"><filename class="extension">.vcf</filename></glossterm>
(Virtual business Card Format) record formats.

<step id="select-a-format-step"><para>
Choose one of the options that appear in the dialog. Several of these options
link to data collections residing in the cloud: <glossterm linkend="gloss-dav"><acronym>DAV</acronym></glossterm>
groupware (Distributed Authoring and Versioning, RFC4918), Google Contacts (your gmail.com
account), <glossterm linkend="gloss-kolab">Kolab</glossterm> &nbsp;groupware server (collaboration
via <glossterm linkend="gloss-imap">&IMAP;</glossterm>), &Microsoft; Exchange Server
<glossterm linkend="gloss-ews">EWS</glossterm> &nbsp;(Exchange Web Services, on servers running MS software),
and <glossterm linkend="gloss-group">Open-Xchange &nbsp;Groupware &nbsp;Server</glossterm> &nbsp;&nbsp;(an open-source
alternative to MS EWS). If you already have access to one or more of these cloud-based resources, you can integrate those
data into &nbsp;&kaddressbook; by simply selecting the option and then entering your login credentials.</para>
<para>
The remaining options in the dialog (Personal Contacts, vCard Directory, and
vCard File) all create data sets that are saved on a local storage device. Each
one of these options uses the same data format (<filename class="extension">.vcf</filename>,
or Virtual Card Format), the only difference being in which particular directory the data
are saved. The <quote>Personal Contacts</quote> and <quote>vCard Directory</quote> options
create a separate file for each named contact you save; the <quote>vCard File</quote> option
puts all the data into one file. It's probably easiest to start with the pre-defined
<quote>Personal Contacts</quote> address book. You will not need more address books
unless you have extensive contact lists you would like to keep separate.
</para></step>
<step id="add-a-cloud-based-service-step"><para>
Once you have made your selection, click on OK. If you have selected a <glossterm

to establish communications between <glossterm linkend="gloss-akonadi">&akonadi;</glossterm>
(the &PIM; cross-desktop storage service) and the selected cloud server. Here's what
the dialog looks like for a Google (gmail.com) account. The other cloud-based services
are slightly different, but similar.
