Thomas, thanks for all the work you have put into KMail and you'll 
hopefully continue to put into it. Without you KMail probably wouldn't 
even start in KDE 4. It's sad that despite all your efforts and those 
of many other developers KMail still isn't where all of us have hoped 
it to be. You have made the right decision. Stability and reliability 
are of utmost importance for KDE PIM in general and KMail in particular 
because data-loss is absolutely unacceptable.

I wished I could help, but real life is just too demanding. :-(


Regards,
Ingo
