KMail is admittedly having a few issues here and there.
Like upgrade path. It was always major pain to get old setup and mails in a new openSUSE installation. Each time I lost some of customizations that exist in KMail configuration and that I used. One would suspect that kmailrc will hold all changes, but it didn't. In recent versions (not KMail2) user interface was set to default that breaks threads with listing by the time. After some reading I found out how to set up classic one. That was another drop in a glass of dissatisfaction. When KMail2 was introduced with email storage hidden in some DB, with import and export tools missing, it was time to look elsewhere. My current mailer (Claws Mail) has its own warts, but moving stuff from installation to installation is simple. Move directories before running application for the first time and start application. All your mails, filters and settings are in place.
But it's not completely broken, nor is it abandoned by the developers. It is being improved - check the bug reports. ....
Good for kmail users :) Although, I bet that moving mails and settings, ie. migration, is still pain, which makes KMail suitable only for use case that is better served by webmail. Power users that actually need mail clients are left in the dust - in other words - someone missed the point. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
