Kontact seems to be a good choice as it handles e-mail, tasks, simple
notes, to-do list and calendar cites. And is easy to manage.
I would add a desktop search tool for searching inside all that
information but on todays KDE4 SC framework I'm not sure what exact tool
to recommend. It seems Akonadi+strigi+nepomuk is able to make that job
but I'm unaware of its current status :-?
