I've used kmail since the days of kubuntu 5.04 and I don't recall ever losing an email due to kmail. Then again, I accessed my email accounts through pop3. On the other hand, since I've started using KDE4, kmail became a bit unusable due to a series of akonadi issues, and things got to the point that recently I've said enough and simply migrated to thunderbird. kmail was not perfect but it was usable and, at least to me, it was a better email client than any other client that I knew. In fact, I still hold the old kmail as a better email client than today's thunderbird. Yet, thunderbird does work without a hitch, this can't be said about the new kmail. So, although the old kmail wasn't perfect, that isn't a sign that today's kmail is a clear improvement over the old kmail. Unfortunately that isn't the case, and to those of us who depend on a working email client, these sort of problems do count. > To address those issues KMail2 was created, that it is not (yet) fully > working is a fact, but don't say KMail1 always worked nicely, if that would > have been the case, it would not have been rewritten. But this doesn't mean that the current incantation of kmail does the job that the old kmail does, let alone doing it as well.
