Now that you mention it spellcheck only works randomly. That is now its working in 5 or 10 seconds it will quit, or not, and it may start again within one reply. With my spelling ability it needs to work all the time and it would be nice if it made suggestions like google did you mean. It is now disabled[As-you-type spell checking disabled.] as expected and all I was doing you can see. Its a puzzle.
Wish I had some sage advice to give you Hoyt, but I haven't been using KMail for over a year now. In fact, I don't even bother with the KDE-PIM packages at all.
My biggest hassle was finding an email client that cold be deployed in a mixed platform environment and also one that made easy work of importing and exporting emails to/from other email clients.
So I switched to Mozilla-Thunderbird about 5 or 6 months ago and never looked back. Now, even on dual-boot systems, I have full access to the same emails and accounts regardless of which OS I'm currently running. The address book is transportable as are the junk-mail filters and junk history, and the best thing is that my spell-checker not only works 110%, but I can also save or copy it to other systems including any new words or terms that it has learned.
All of that saves a lot of time and hassle for myself and my clients. Since backing up the necessary files is a piece of cake, I also come across as a genius to my clients, which helps quite a bit when invoicing them!
You might want to consider switching to Thunderbird. Their site also has a quick and clean method of grabbing your emails from KMail and moving them to Thunderbird.
Clever guys!
