I know. I was fully aware of this regression, as were Than and Rex, we decided
to push the update anyway in the KDE SIG meeting because we all felt the
benefits of the update outweighed the regressions we knew about
I migrated to Thunderbird in the system I was using Kmail on because
receiving thousands of mails on the inbox instead of carefully filtered
mails into dozens of folders was completely unacceptable to me. I might
take filtering out of mail clients entirely and I am planning to use pan
and gmane since that appears to be the better path atleast for fedora
lists but neverthless I don't think the decision to let this into
regression knowingly into updates was a right one. I went back and read
after this happened the KDE SIG meeting minutes and it was very
surprising to me that the team would have made such a decision. Not to
harp on KDE SIG but it does seem that we don't value robustness as much
as we should for updates in general and that is worrisome to me as I
rely on Fedora everyday as a end user to get work done.
