I have 12.04 LTS on another drive, but I haven't yet managed to make an email agent work. They have done something to kmail that causes an instant crash/segfault, and no one on the kubuntu list has a clue. And ClawsMail isn't capable of importing the maildir format I use with the old kmail on this machine. T-Bird is abandoned so I haven't even tried it. Never did manage to do well with mutt or alpine either. So I am still running the 10.04-4 here but with a newer non-rtai kernel. > There is a nasty problem with the Unity window manager, I just > couldn't get it to work like **I** wanted.

Unforch, the only thing that turns up in a google search kmail segfaults are my own posts. > Jon > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book > "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and > their applications.
