I used to use Kmail until all this mess started. I think the last I used Kmail was back in KDE3. When I saw all this mess coming, I switched to Seamonkey. Seamonkey does all my email stuff and I'm happy with it. I do wish the sound notification thingy would work tho. Maybe I just need to sit down one day and try to figure out why it doesn't work. Sound works everywhere else. Still, it does what I really need without to much bloat. I installed KDE with the kde-meta. It basically installs everything but the kitchen sink. To be honest tho, I could likely install it in a better way that leaves out TONS of stuff I never use. This file indexer thingy is one of the ones I have never had a need for. If I want to find some file, locate, find and etc works for those rare occasions. It is rare since I'm fairly well organized with my stuff. Well, computer files at least. My closet and shop is a different matter tho. lol My point was that this can be disabled IF it is not needed. If it is needed, then fixing it is the solution. If it is not, disable it and shove the problem into the trash can. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
