Yes, KMail crashes more frequently than Windows 3.1. However, if used with IMAP (not POP3 and not offline IMAP) the crashes are not serious. 99% of the time KMail is OK after a restart. On rare occasions one must force it back to consistency by deleting all the files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/ (most of which are dot files). Since Evolution's downgrade, KMail is the only client I know of that works well with hundreds of mail folders. And for that I choose to live with software that explodes whenever the network times out. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
