As folks may know, I am a heavy user of Kontact.
With the exception of "syncing" with my google calendar I have found it to be "fully functional" for at least the last 8 months or so.
In the past I wasted a lot of time going over, again, and again, the "fixes" for syncing which litter the net, to no avail.
I have always "downloaded/uploaded" and ical file to "sync" the calendars on my various machines with google calendar and google android calendar.
Kubicle's post has eliminated the problem, for me, with syncing with Google calendar.
I DO NOT KNOW about other calendars, but that indicates to ....me..... that KDE PIM developers have the internals of Kontact calendar sync working but may, or may not, have problems with the "proprietary" stuff of various calendars.
And that, since we have always said, ok, when it can be done with Microsith, we could possibly say "ok" for the other calendars also.
The only other "niggle" for me has been Akregator which seems to "not work off and on" but as noted in another thread that may be a problem with the amount of memory on one of my machines.
So.............AGAIN TO STATE THE QUESTION:
Can it be said that all of the parts of Kontact are now "functional" even though there will always be "bugs" and "non-compliant" software with which it has to interact?
just a question and if anyone desires to comment on particular problems, or other things, then please do so.

(Seriously, we recently added Xanax to my five-drug hypertension cocktail, because we could not find an organic source of my ridiculously high BP. So we figured trying anti-anxiety meds might help--and it has! I only take a half dose but it's enough to help, without making me drowsy.)
For a lifelong workaholic like me, being unable to work since 2003 has SUCKED.
