I really think that Kontact as a whole, as opposed to just Kmail,
needs a bugday. There are quite a few showstopper bugs in KOrganizer,
which is keeping myself and doubtless others on KDE 3.x. The
showstoppers fall into two categories: dataloss issues and serious
performance issues. I think that there may be a few reproducible
crashers as well, though I personally have not encountered them in my
tests. Kaddressbook and Akregator have some issues as well. I will
gladly make a list of the showstopper bugs if need be.
