10 I ran into this too in the kde-4.4 era (when kmail2 was showing first
11 signs of being releasable) and I honestly have not seen any signs since
12 that the kmail devs have any clue at all. This mailing list has many
13 stories of folks experiencing data loss when they just follow the
14 instructions.

16 Nowadays I use Tbird and all issues just go away.

18 It's unbelievable the chaos kamil2 can inflict on a system, and the
19 worst is that everything they do is a complete 100% already-solved
20 system, there's nothing new in it - it does mail and contacts plus a few
21 other bits! Classic case of 2nd major project syndrome (read mythical
22 man Month if you don't get the reference)
