To save my sanity, is there a way, in tumbleweed, to either 1. Restore kdepim to 5.2.x to get rid of reliance on qtwebengine 2. Install nvidia and lock kernel/nvidia from updates?

3. Any other solution that still uses kmail/kontact.
For me, kmail stays alive for a few seconds or upto a minute or two. If i can get kmail up long enough to write/reply to an email, its doesn't crash. It all seems to be happening when clicking on a new folder or email to read and sometimes it just crashes when left alone for a while.
This bug report seems to point to a threading issue - https:// bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=997171
Try driver #3. Purge both nvidia and nouveau drivers from your installation, and ensure kernel cmdline does not include anything to defeat KMS. The result is the modesetting driver integral to the X server should be used automatically unless your nvidia gfxchip is too new or too old. cf. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-Debian-Abandon-Intel-DDX -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
