As I understand it, you have a workflow for email that uses a couple of specific features that the TDE version of kmail doesn't support, and other mailers don't necessarily either, but the KDE5 version of kmail does. The appropriate thing to do in this case is not complain that TDE kmail is "not modern", but file an RFE to request that filtering emails by age (and anything else you think is missing) be added. Chances are that the only reason a simple feature like that isn't there is that no one's ever asked for it. I didn't realize my email program (claws-mail) had it until this discussion caused me to check it, because it isn't a feature I have a need for. Not everyone does things the same way, and searching other applications in the same field for things not present in TDE software isn't a good use of the devs' time, especially since some of those things aren't used or are outright detrimental. If you want something that isn't already here, you have to ask. That phrase "not modern"? It tells people nothing about why a piece of software doesn't work for you. (Hell, often it just means, "the look and feel is different from the latest version of [other OS]" or "it wasn't made for a touchscreen"). "Not modern" isn't something that anyone here can fix, because it's meaningless. It's very good at spreading FUD, however, which is why some people on this list get annoyed by it. E.
