Dear @Flossy Cat,

it is sad to read about your frustrations with some KDE products like Kontact.
I can relate because I've experienced regressions a number of times myself.  It
is good and helpful that you report that those missing or regressing features
are very important to you. 
But also - as I see from your lines cited above - you come to the conclusion
that those changes are deliberate and thus a disrespect towards you or users in
general.  Without knowing how those changes came to be in detail, you cannot
know that. I don't know either, but how would you react to a user of your
software that approaches you with this conclusion that you meant "ill" by
making a change without knowing that you may have been forced to do it by some
technical circumstances or budget limitations? Is that reaction helpful?

All desktop email clients struggle with getting enough workforce behind them,
either by volunteers or professionals. To me that is a wider structural
problem.  You were asking for alternatives, I know of Claws mail which has is a
small but long term team behind it. And Kontact3 from Trinity which has the
user defined snoozing still in.  Have you tried any of those?

Best Regards
Bernhard
