I have been using kmail since the first KDE release, circa 1998 or 99?
then the run up to KDE 4 was such a CF it got forked & called trinity at
about the 3.5 level, not much has been done except a double roll of TP,
in fine print, describing the bug fixes. But its also under new
development so there are two chains, with the we're adding stuff to
called the R14 family, and its R14.0.4 version that I am running on
wheezy right now. FWIW, highly recommended by great-great-grandpa Gene,
it Just Works(TM).
