# Set up email in KDE Kontact
Source: https://docs.webgee.com/en/email/kde-kontact



Add your WebGee mailbox to KDE Kontact on Linux, with calendars and contacts.
Applies to every WebGee Workspace mailbox.

Mail is configured by a wizard. Calendars and contacts need a second pass, since
Kontact treats them as separate accounts.

## Add your mailbox [#add-your-mailbox]

1. Open **Kontact**.
2. If this is your first account, the setup wizard opens by itself — skip to
   step 4. Otherwise select **Mail** in the sidebar, then **Tools → Account
   Wizard**.
3. Enter your name, full email address and mailbox password, then select
   **Next**.
4. Select **Create Account**. Re-enter your password if prompted.
5. Select **Finish**.

## Add calendars and contacts [#add-calendars-and-contacts]

1. Select **Calendar** in the sidebar.
2. Select **Settings → Configure KOrganizer**.
3. On the **Calendars** tab, select **Add**.
4. Choose **DAV groupware resource**, then **OK**.
5. Enter your email address and mailbox password, then select **Next**.
6. Choose **ScalableOGo** from the list, then select **Next**.
7. Enter `mail.webgee.com` as the **Host**, then select **Next**.
8. Select **Test Connection**, then **Finish**, then **OK** twice.

This configures contacts at the same time — you do not need to repeat it in
KAddressBook.

## Check it worked [#check-it-worked]

Send yourself a message from [webmail](https://webmail.webgee.com) and confirm it
arrives. Then create a test event in KOrganizer and check it appears in webmail
under **Calendar**.

Once configured, KMail, KOrganizer and KAddressBook all work standalone against
the same account.

## If the DAV connection fails [#if-the-dav-connection-fails]

* **Test Connection fails** — the host must be `mail.webgee.com` exactly, with
  no `https://` prefix and no trailing path.
* **Authentication fails** — the username is your full email address, not just
  the part before the `@`.
* **Events sync but contacts do not** — the resource was added under KOrganizer
  but not enabled for contacts. Re-run steps 3–8.
