They > work okay, but they lack the functionality of Kmail. Thats been my impression also. And I think the problems with kmail are directly related to its 32 bit parentage. If someone were to go thru it and size every pointer or counter for a 64 bit system, I'd bet a case of your favorite suds this would all go away. But it might take 2 or 3 man/months to check and adjust it all. And THAT isn't going to be done just because those coders love it, they like eating and sleeping in warm houses etc too. Its past time we users spoke with our wallets again. Paypal has since improved their service, so I've got another hundred bucks to go with the hundred I tried to give the last time Tim asked for money.
