Good catch. I thought I had most of kde-apps unmasked for unstable to keep 
with the rolling. Missed that one.

That's really, really sad.

I used Thunderbird for years, but I eventually had to stop when it would, 
averaging once a month (though sometimes not for a couple months, sometimes a 
couple times a week) explode in memory consumption and drive the entire system 
unresponsively into swap.

I've tried claws from time to time due to other annoyances with Thunderbird, 
but I kept switching back. Not because I liked Tbird, but (IIRC) because of 
stability issues I had with claws.

Even with the bugs it has, Kontact and Akonadi has been the most reliable mail 
client I've used in the last year. When it gives me problems, I know why, and 
I can address it. (Running a heavily tuned MySQLd instance behind Akonadi, for 
example...)

I wish someone would pay me to fix this stuff; I'd be able to spend the time on 
it.
