Porting KMail isn't finished yet:

~/svn/kde/branches/KDE/4.1/kdepim/kmail> grep Q3 -l *.h *.cpp | sort
favoritefolderview.cpp
favoritefolderview.h
foldertreebase.cpp
headeritem.cpp
headeritem.h
headerlistquicksearch.cpp
headerlistquicksearch.h
kmfolderimap.h
kmfoldertree.cpp
kmfoldertree.h
kmheaders.cpp
kmheaders.h
kmmainwidget.cpp
kmmainwidget.h
kmsystemtray.cpp
localsubscriptiondialog.cpp
managesievescriptsdialog.cpp
managesievescriptsdialog.h
subscriptiondialog.cpp

~/svn/kde/branches/KDE/4.1/kdepim/kmail> grep K3 -l *.h *.cpp | sort
headeritem.cpp
headeritem.h
headerlistquicksearch.cpp
headerlistquicksearch.h
kmfoldertree.cpp
kmheaders.cpp
kmheaders.h
kmmainwidget.cpp
kmmainwidget.h

Most of this is Q3ListView and K3ListView since porting the list views 
to model/view was postponed until KMail is ported to Akonadi (which 
does already provide suitable models and views).

Why? I understand "Devel/Stable Release" as "development/stable release 
running on Qt4/KDE4", or, IOW, porting has reached a state where the 
application runs reliably on KDE 4.

The page says
"This page intends to give developers, distributors and users an 
overview over the porting state of popular KDE3 applications to 
KDE4.1."

IMO the column Qt4/KDE4 Port is mostly interesting for developers, the 
column Devel Release is probably interesting for developers and 
distributors and the Stable Release column is interesting for 
distributors and users. The users do not care about the state of the 
port. All they want to know is whether their favorite KDE 3 application 
will be available as KDE 4 version or not.

Anyway, obviously, the above is just my interpretation of this page. 
Since the meaning of the three columns is not well-defined I have no 
doubt that other people interpret the information differently.

Ingo
