Driven away.

Was a KMail for what seems like forever (~2000?) (I've been a KDE user
since it first came out in '96), but after dealing with workarounds and
hacks for two+ years I eventually gave in and abandoned KMail back in
mid-2017.

Took me multiple weeks to get all of my mail (~12GB) imported into
Thunderbird, get my 200+ mail filters set up again, and to remove all of
the duplicates and junk that various KMail bugs had done to my mail.
Was the most painful thing I'd done in years, and I knew the switch was
going to suck bad so I held out as long as I could.

KMail eventually just got unusable, period.  I'd have to do workarounds
and restart akonadi every single time I picked up my POP mail, which
just made KMail effectively useless.  After realizing I was using Alpine
to read all of my new mail and delete junk _before_ fetching it into
KMail, I finally gave in and switched.

LOVED KMail, but THIS bug led me to finally throw in the towel and give
it up.
