I am absolutely on Mike's side on this one. I use Kmail exclusively and only after extensive testing, it has the features I want and use and has always been solid. But it HAS TO WORK. Full time, all the time, I live by my mail. I have been able to use the workaround Anne Wilson pointed me to but that is one session only, if I quit kmail and start it again I'm back at square zero. I'm writing this using my webmail client because my system will come to its knees if I fire up kmail. Changing clients is a HUGE pain in the ass and there seem to have been no subsequent updates that have any relevance. Extremely disappointing and I still don't have access to my addressbook, even after trying to follow up on tips presented in other threads.
