I understand your frustration.

I also find it highly frustrating when software I do use for daily work 
does not work as I expect.

While I understand your feelings I do think that the accusing tone I 
perceive in your mail does not contribute in any way to make your 
experience better.

So by any means there is nothing wrong with your feelings. Feel them, 
express them.

But please do not accuse anyone else for the pain you suffer.

Some of your options to get a different experience are in my opinion:

1) Ask how you can help to make it happen that KDEPIM 2 holds up to your 
expectations.

2) Use a different mail client.

3) Or use a distro that means stable when saying stable such as Debian 
Stable. A distro that still carries KDEPIM 1 as of 4.4.5. Even the 
development branches of Debian namely Wheezy and Sid - when you feel 
adventurous - seem to be rather stable to me and still carry KDEPIM 1 for 
now. With Debian Stable you can still use KDEPIM 1 for at least one and a 
half year, in my estimation at least two years to come. Of cause there may 
be other distributions like maybe Centos that may carry old KDEPIM even 
longer.

Thanks,
