Claws-Mail is not perfect, +but it has most of KMail's useful features, and appears to work nicely. It's +also very fast, and I run it fine through ssh over my laptop's wifi network +and it's still responsive. + +I have written some scripts to convert away from KMail here (let me know if +there's something you don't understand there): + +<A HREF="https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/convert-away-from-kmail/overview">https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/convert-away-from-kmail/overview</A> + +They took a lot of time to run here, but it was worth it, and now I'm a +(mostly) happy Claws-Mail user.
