I don't think anyone has denied KMail's usability. That's probably the reason it pained people so much when it all went wrong. It was an excellent solution and IMO far better than Evolution or any of the others but the issues were so bad that it could not be trusted and trust is critical with any PIM that one is using in a business context. That trust is going to take some rebuilding. However, I still miss it and so taking your positive comments on board I'm giving it another run and we'll see how it goes. I hope I'm not disappointed. Thus far, the import feature has worked well if somewhat slower than I would prefer and that was a major issue for me in the past, the import managed to destroy several years of archived mails following a system upgrade, thankfully I had several backups and those have been imported seemingly without problem at this stage. We will see, I have everything crossed for success.
