Wow, that's old. Are there still updates for it?

Well, I recall that while early KMail released on KDE 4 worked mostly fine,
KMail 2 was far too unreliable and unstable. Maybe it is better now.
As a result, I have switched to Claws-mail, using these script:
<A HREF="https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/convert-away-from-kmail/src/115463239f0d/shlomif-convert-away-from-kmail">https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/convert-away-from-kmail/src/115463239f0d/shlomif-convert-away-from-kmail</A>
I didn't have a good way to import the filters, and created them again semi-manually,
as I ran into a place where I needed to filter messages.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
