you're misunderstanding - this was my second migration, the one I was
complaining about a few posts back in this thread - the only messages
that came across were the ones that were unread in my original folders,
a few hundred messages at most - I lost over 20 thousand - KMail has
lost its lustre for me at this point - with all these bugs, and the
sluggishness, it's a shadow of its former self - hopefully, they'll get
it all straightened out eventually - Thunderbird has its own share of
problems these days, too
The problem is that KMail has some features that I rely on, and TBird doesn't
have them. In particular I miss the ability to associate an identity with a
folder (essential for mailing list handling: I got many moderation messages
when using TBird) and the much better handling of expiry of messages.
Just throw in my experiences here: I was used to kmail for several years
but as this does not work on windows I slowly switched to thunderbird.
The last month I almost completely switched to thunderbird on Linux as
well. Kmail is a little bit faster and has some mail functions (like
sieve configuration) and is little better on shortcut but calendar and
address book integration is better
For folder based Identity I installed a plugin called folder_account
which implements the missing feature.
Currently I only miss the possibility to set account specific language.
As I rely on a plugin for my PIM Server (SOGo) I have to use Thunderbird
revision 3 and it is really sad that fedora switched to the new fast
switching mozilla strategy (which is a wrong decision in my humble
opinion). So I have to patch and recompile fedora 14 version of
Thunderbird 3 by myself. Sogo will switch to the new thunderbird stuff
with the long term versions end of january.
I tried the official thunderbird version but I had several problems in
opening attachments (I have to select programs first instead of
thunderbird looking up the configured programs). For me this is not a
major problem (it is annoying) but for others in my family it is hard to
know that the program for opening MS-word files is called oowriter (or
what ever) and located in /usr/bin.
