I'm using Debian Wheezy, which was released about 2 days ago. It's a little
odd: help | about shows KMail Version 1.13.7 use KDE dev Platform 4.8.4. The
Debian package version number is 4.4.11, which I suppose is a reference to the
kde pim version.
I'm guessing the Debian packagers thought KMail 2 was too unreliable, at least
when they made the packaging decision, which would have been quite a biit
before the release.
Maybe some of the problems like the address book non-lookup are from mixing
KMail one with a later general KDE release.
