# Introduction

The &kmail; Team welcomes you to &kmail;, a user-friendly email client for the K Desktop Environment. Our goal is to make &kmail; a program that is beautiful and intuitive without sacrificing power.

If you have never set up an email client on a &UNIX; system before, we suggest that you read through the Getting Started section first so that your setup goes smoothly.

Since most people do not read documentation anyway, here is a collection of the most helpful tips:

- You do not have to use your mouse to use &kmail;. Everything can be done by using Keyboard Shortcuts.

- Although &kmail; can be considered reliable you should keep backups of your messages, &ie; just copy the files and folders in `~/Mail` (including the hidden ones that start with a dot) to a safe place.

&kmail;'s homepage can be found at http://kmail.kde.org. There you will find useful links, &eg; to the user and developer mailing lists. Please report bugs in &kmail; using Help Report Bug....

We hope you will enjoy &kmail;!
