Tried Evolution, but it felt like such a step backwards in terms of features that I sucked it up and lived w/o search working. Was about a year ago when I last tried, and Evolution was horrible comparatively. KMail might have had broken search, but Evolution was missing a whole pile of simple/common features I used day-to-day. After a week, a went back to KMail and sucked it up. TBird, last I tried, couldn't handle maildir and was mbox only. I'd considered converting all my maildirs to mbox, but then I read a number of threads that outlined how TBird was unstable when using large mbox files. Thus, didn't even go there; I know I'd have a few mbox files that'd be pushing 4-500MB a piece. I think the biggest issue I've seen is the lack of maildir support across MUAs. KMail was one of the first to go there as an MUA, and last I poked around it looked like nobody ever decided to catch-up with that. -- Graham TerMarsch _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
