Comment 37 for bug 329659

Hello Developers,

I think it is correct to complain! :-(

I have been using KMail since 1999 and through the years it became my favorite
application in KDE. Up to the switch to KDE 4. From now on there is pain and I
wonder why.

This "bug" - or was it a design decision? - makes handling/reorganizing of
mails and folders very difficult but nothing happens to improve the situation.

Talking about changes in the architecture: KMail is not the only application
in KDE where nowadays there is argued like that: This is a change in an
underlying technology so we cannot help. Well the people who have been using
the software and who have liked the software for years can be blamed to switch
to KDE 4 but they simply do not understand why KMail and other main
applications - Konqueror in general and the bookmarks, Amarok and Phonon,
Kalender in general, etc. - were made worse instead of better and why these
typical problems persist. (Back to KMail: Still problems with IMAP and the
application eats RAM what it never did before.)

So please help because the people around the world that use Linux and KDE
probably continue to use it because they like the project and the people
working on it.

Sorry for the "Wort zum Sonntag" you can forward it to the KDE development
coordinators! ;-)

Martin
