If you are using this for real work etc, you shouldn't be upgrading your important working environment for no real reason. This is the prime reason most corporations are a full release of an OS behind the current release. Its a hard way to learn, almost the same way people learn to make backups when they don't have one to restore after a crash. Keep bleeding edge away from a working environment, create a separate partition for bleeding edge.
Welllllll....Ian. Don't know exactly what you are telling me here. I am a true believer in "stable" (been there - done that and regretted it) but everyone on this list says 4.4 is "It" The "Cat's Meow?" so to speak. So I just jumped and upgraded to 4.4 because I was so dissapointed with KDE4 up to that point, hoping, of course, (ignorantly) that 4.4 was the answer. Apparently not. When will I learn??? Soooo....chastising me, as I have done to myself, is deserved, it would be nice if people who are in the know, would help me to extricate myself from this morass. Any and all ideas, suggestions, would be most helpful. At this moment I cannot send out emails to my distribution lists and the backlog grows significanly. Dear God, I pray that I will not have to rebuild lists with hundreds of Email addresses.

I suggest that in the short term you revert your KDE PIM packages to 4.3.5. "zypper in kdepim4=4.3.5-0.1.4" will do this for you currently, however the build number /may/ change, use "zypper se -s --match-exact kdepim4" to determine the current build number. I am hammering on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223034 to get this bug addressed promptly.

Thanks Will, That is what I did. Downgraded a lot of other stuff but at least I can use my distribution lists now. Will I have to be careful with my "zypper up" now? I hope someday soon we will get all of this "niggly" stuff sorted out.

I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to make the move to fulltime kde4.4 sc from the highly stable and intuitive kde 3.5.10. This is the first time I have lasted more than a week. As for a suggestion, I don't know if you have the kde3 dependencies installed (since you are running openSUSE 11.2) but if they are installed or available I would suggest trying to revert to kontact/kmail/etc from kde3.5. Prior to moving to kde4.4 this worked on my 11.1 box (I haven't tried it on kde4.4.1 sc so it may or may not be an option). Can't tell you exactly how to do this since I usually work from copies of my backups, hopefully you also have this option. BTW this suggestion also applies to koffice, use the older stable version if you can't afford downtime.
