6.1 Conduits Used by KPilot

The conduits used by KPilot can be enabled and configured after selecting Settings Configure KPilot . The following is a list of some important conduits:

Addressbook

This conduit handles the data exchange with the handheld's address book. The KDE counterpart for managing these contacts is KAddressBook. Start it from the main menu or with the command kaddressbook.

KNotes/Memos

This conduit allows you to transfer notes created with KNotes to the handheld's memo application. Start the KDE application from the main menu or with the command knotes.

Calendar (KOrganizer)

This conduit is responsible for syncing the appointments (events) of the hendheld. The desktop equivalent is KOrganizer.

ToDos (KOrganizer)

This conduit is responsible for syncing to-do items. The desktop counterpart is KOrganizer.

Time Synchronization

Enabling this conduit adjusts the handheld's clock to that of the desktop computer during each sync operation. This is only a good idea if the clock of the desktop computer itself is corrected by a time server at fairly frequent intervals.
