2. Re KMail2, when I first tried it (when it was still in RC phase, I think, and then again after its first release) it no longer sorted the "special folders" first in the folder list (i.e. Inbox, Sent, Trash, Drafts first, then the other folders in alpahbetical order) but instead sorted ALL folders in alphabetical order (at least, when using IMAP which is what I run at home); previously KMail sorted the folder list with the "special" folders first (which I find much more usable).
Has this been fixed, or made configurable, or is it still sorting the folders the "broken" way (IMHO)?
One way to deal with the special folders is put them in the favorites list.
Any other "improvements" over KMail 1 (IMAP functionality is of particular importance)?
The "brokenness" of KMail 2 (compared to KMail 1.13x ) is one thing that stopped me upgrading KDE past 4.6.x. ...
Back in 12.1 I found that kmail2 could not convert my mail directory. So I did as Graham Smith suggested, and ran an old kmail on 12.1 and then 12.2. I eventually found kmail openSUSE 4.4.10-3.2 to be OK and able to work with my existing kmail1 hierarchy - I've not dared try anything more up to date than that. I'm currenty trying kmail2 in a vbox install of openSUSE to see if it has improved. I've found a safe way to convert old mail over is to use kmail1 to convert any mbox folders to maildir. Then I can copy the folder hierachy over to my vbox and import it using the import kmail-hierarchy option. All mail was imported unread - had to shift-click select bunches of folders and mark all contents as read. When kmail2 performs some long operations there is sometimes no indication except a hang. It appears slow, but that may be the VM. Personally, from what I seen so far, I may hold off for 12.3's kmail and revisit then. In the long term if kmail1 continues to have a following, I may just step back to that.
