When the switch was made from KDE3.5 to KDE4 I
struggled with KDE and kmail for a while but
ultimately adopted the XFCE GUI and also Claws
Mail. Thus far I have seen no compelling reason
to go back to KDE or its utilities like kmail. The
folks developing KDE have failed to note a
classic virtue of *nix, that of separating
functions into discrete programs.
Another permanent casualty of the move from KDE
3.5 to KDE 4 was the excellent web design tool
Quanta Plus. It has been replaced by a general
purpose IDE given the same name of Quanta Plus. I
won't even try to use it. And kpdf has been
replaced by okular, with some lost functionality.
I alternate using okular with the antique xpdf or
even gv.
Happily XFCE and Claws Mail work just fine on
e.g. Ubuntu. as well as on Slackware etc.
