   2 <span class="application">KAddressBook</span> is the main address book application for <span class="acronym">KDE</span>; it
   3 enables you to manage your contacts efficiently and comfortably.
   4 Since it is based on the kabc library it supports resources,
   5 which can be used to load and save your contacts to many different locations —
   6 not just the local file system, but also to LDAP servers and SQL databases.
   7 </p><p>
   8 The user interface is similar to MS Outlook and it supports different views
   9 to represent the contact data differently;
  10 it also provides an incremental search over all fields and a jump button
  11 bar to quickly access single entries.
  12 Since the underlying kabc library uses the vCard format (specified in RFC
  13 2426) as its default storage medium, <span class="application">KAddressBook</span> mainly reflects the supported
  14 entry fields in its graphical user interface.
