Are you being as flexible with that as the term suggests, or do you mean the new akonadi-enabled kmail (kmail2, I believe I've seen it called) not yet out of pre-release but which will presumably be the kmail introduced at sometime in the kde 4.6 cycle, or do you mean the kde4 thru 4.4.x kmail that's "current" but that hasn't been getting anything but minimal maintenance attention since pre-4.4, as they work on the akonadi-enabled version, or do you mean the kde3.5/trinity version still being worked on by the kde3/trinity project continuation, or...? Because all of these are "recent kmail" in some sense, but the answer may differ depending on which one you are referring to, the kde3/trinity question presumably belongs on a different list, an answer for "current" full-release kmail will likely be dated within months but could well be what you're after, and of course the answer likely to remain valid going forward may well apply only to the still pre-release kmail2. Of course if you're flexible and will take an answer for any of them... =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
