What format are Kontact & Kmail files in?  I know nothing about them,
but I would be surprised if they don't use standard vcf / ics /mbox
things at least as an option.

I'm not really up on KDE as I use Gnome almost exclusively, but aren't
dockers a KDE function, whereas evolution is a Gnome app.  From my point
of view, Evo integrates very well into the Gnome desktop - including
being able to access Evo calendars & to do lists from the calendar
applet.  I suppose I could equally as well complain that Kmail and so on
are deficient because they don't integrate into the Gnome environment.
