I tried kmail2 somewhere in March this year and did run the migration with many lost mails. My tip: If you can make a clean new start with kmail2, esp. with IMAP and server side filtering. Only "Problem" I have: My global search in kmail2 is not working as expected. I have about hundred mails with a specific sender but searching for the sender brings only one mail. > > So, all in all, kmail2 was better than feared for my use. Definitely. There are some things to learn (fine tuning nepomuk and akonadi) but nothing bad.
