Hey, Guy
I got a problem with kontact. I am in kde4.1 32 bit and kmail, kontact are the same version. They were working together in kde4. I removed kontact (its configure files) before. I reinstalled kontact today and set kmail as the startup component for kontact. However when I start kontact, kmail starts automatically in a single window just the same as start kmail directly.
I manually put kontact_kmailpluginEnabled=true (I thought it should be added automatically when the file is created)into kontactrc but it still does not work.
pls advise.
Thanks,

I had this same problem 2 things 1) do you keep your KDE 4.1 install up to date with what is in the factory repo? If not then install the updates and try again. If you do keep 4.1 up to date then see if kmail is not properly closing
pgrep kmail (or what ever meathod you preffer to get the process ID)
kill (PID of kmail)
then load up Kontact.

Thanks man. Problem is solved. It is because of the kmail-session process.

Your welcome, and just so you know this seems to only happen if Kmail is opened as a standalone program, so every time you run just kmail check to see if it closed out completely and if not kill it.
