The traditional one is still being maintained? News to me! It it still
being updated to be compatible with current kde? I had thought that was
part of the old kdepim 4.4 series and that it phased out and was
unsupported as of kde 4.8.
Other than the lower kde integration (and it's gtk2-based so it does at
least take kde colors, a BIG thing here as I'm a strong light-on-dark aka
"reverse" color-scheme guy). I'm actually happier with claws-mail now,
personally, but had I known the pre-akonadi kmail was continuing support
I'd have possibly switched to it and saved myself the conversion issues
of switching to claws-mail.
Meanwhile, links? There's a fair chance there's still folks running into
this issue, and having a place to point them would be nice. Plus there's
always the chance claws-mail will jump the shark and I'll be looking for
something else, tho with its deliberate emphasis on direct filesystem
access and script extensibility it's unlikely. But having a pre-akonadi
kmail as a backup mail option would still be useful.
