==Development==
Much of the infrastructure of KDE PIM has been moved to kdepimlibs module as a framework for all KDE applications. Therefore we have two main modules within the KDE SVN: '''kdepim''' and '''kdepimlibs'''. The latter contains code that provides public APIs.
 
Current development focus as of January 2009 is on the Akonadi service and porting existing applications to Akonadi and KMime and other frameworks.
 
===Documentation===
The KMail handbook is currently being rewritten, for more information look at the [[Projects/Documentation/KDE4/kdepim/kmail|documentation wiki page]].

===Enterprise branches===
Kontact is the primary [http://kolab.org/ Kolab] client. There are different release cycles for the Kolab clients and for KDE, and therefore there are so-called <i>enterprise</i> branches in SVN where the Kolab versions are maintained. Changes in the enterprise branches are regularly merged back to SVN trunk.
The enterprise branches are maintained by [http://www.klaralvdalens-datakonsult.se/ KDAB].
 
More information about the enterprise branches can be found at:
