[Kde-pim] still no luck with kmail

Just tried kmail, since someone (Vinesh Handa iirc) asked me why I 
wanted to wait another KDE release, and I thought it could not harm trying.

Here are my findings, after fetching about 600 messages from my server:

* Filtering appears to work better now, although it refused to treat 
some messages.
* Using the "classify as spam" filter created by kmail does not seem to 
work very often.
* I am plagued by the conflict resolution dialog from hell, almost 
constantly popping up along with meaningless error messages ("NO ") in a 
speed I can not keep up with. Pressing ESC leads to duplicated messages. 
The "remove duplicate messages" function does not remove those duplicate 
messages, making it all worse. I tried to move them away by pressing 
"DEL", but that just makes kmails progressbar spin infinitely, while the 
statusbar says "moving messages to trash".
* There is no address completion. (I am using owncloud for contact 
storage, if that matters.)

So at this point, two problems prevents using kmail: the conflict 
resolution dialog from hell, and the missing address completion (the 
first issue is a blocker, as long as that exists, kmail is not a 
candidate for being used in any case)

kindly,
Anders Lund
