Why do you prefer KDE?

[Graham Lauder]

Well unfortunately an initial hopeful start has turned completely to
custard.  Kmail is now duplicating multiple messages every time it checks
mail and then gives me an error when I try to "Remove duplicate messages".
Looks like I'll be uninstalling it again.  Obviously the Akonadi thing
again and now all of the subfolders of my inbox have disappeared.  I swear
it gets more broken every time I try to use it again.
