This might be a suggestion to pass on to the Kontact development list.  They are \
building a front end to somewhat integrate Kmail, with Korganizer, Kaddressbook and \
Knotes.  I have recently switched form the Windows world and was used to MS Outlook \
which had some integration between functions and coule browse the file system as \
well.  The main problem with outlook was its PST data file.  I could use catagories \
or even customize a form to keep track of items by project but would quickly run out \
of room attaching documents (PST files had a 2G limit).  My thought swould be to \
extend the catagories functionality to Kmail and Konqueror so I can group files \
according to catagory and use the catagories to keep track of various projects and \
such.
