We use it here at the school where I work, and while I don't have people's exact file sizes and counts on hand, I can say definitely it handles a lot of email; most people have boxes dating back to 2004 and it hasn't been an issue. I use Kmail for my own work machine just to keep up with the project but I am not prepared to have 'real' users use it yet. Still too many issues that I see, generally, on a daily basis. - klaatu _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
