I don't think anyone has denied KMail's usability.  That's probably the reason 
it pained people so much when it all went wrong.   It was an excellent 
solution and IMO far better than Evolution or any of the others but the issues 
were so bad that it could not be trusted and trust is critical with any PIM 
that one is using in a business context.  That trust is going to take some 
rebuilding.  

However, I still miss it and so taking your positive comments on board I'm 
giving it another run and we'll see how it goes.  I hope I'm not disappointed.  
Thus far, the import feature has worked well if somewhat slower than I would 
prefer and that was a major issue for me in the past, the import managed to 
destroy several years of archived  mails following a system upgrade, 
thankfully I had several backups and those have been imported seemingly 
without problem at this stage. We will see, I have everything crossed for 
success.

Cheers
