KMail is a state-of-the-art email client that integrates well with widely used email providers like GMail

[jvapr27 at gmail.com]

I look forward to it! 

I would say that I could easily just move to a different Email provider
and not be hung up on Google, however Yahoo doesn't allow IMAP without
a fee. My Hotmail, I am not sure it will allow it either. I also like
to use the integration of GDrive and being able to see my Calendar
information on my Android phone is invaluable. I use it all the time.
Thus I need my Desktop, Web(for when on a different pc), mobile device
need to stay in sync. GMail is the only one I can think of that can do
it all. 

Is there anywhere we can contact to ask Google about this? Maybe they
just need to be politely pressured to understand the impact of this. 

thanks, 

JV

See https://mmikowski.github.io/k19-10-guide/#section12 which provides
similar info. The good news is that once you get past that issue the
most recent kmail builds are a joy to use IMO (I've used kmail on and
off for at least 15 years). Dragging and dropping messages between
accounts is awesome. 

Don't use on Kubuntu 19.04 or earlier. Only 19.10 with backports
enabled.  20.04 promises to be a very solid release; am testing now.

Cheers, Mike
