There are 2 things I perceive to be vital for KDE & Kontact/KMail in the
enterprise:
 - editable HTML mail forwards & replies
 - ability to work as an Exchange client, with full support for mail, contacts,
and appointments (IMAP only does mail, requires co-operation from the exchange
admin to enable it, and Exchange contacts nor calendar work) (and
frustratingly, my KMail IMAP sessions always get stale after a while)

Exchange support relies on getting OpenChange ready (See
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4107 ) and getting it fully integrated in
Akonadi which also isn't done yet.

Kontact/KMail will support Exchange thanks to Akonadi, so getting KMail ready
for that is certainly a task I wouldn't like to see Thomas or others others
being pulled away from.

What I think would make everybody happy:
 - If KMail could get HTML support with QTextEdit with reasonably little work,
that would be *fantastic* if you ask me. "nothing fancy" sounds way better than
"absolutely nothing at all" and then this wish/bug can be done away with. Fancy
stuff isn't necessary, as long as what should work, works without tarnishing
KMail's reputation by crashing or something like that
 - Next, the Akonadi skyscraper on 5th avenue without people on your back
moaning about bug 86423
 - Finally, once KMail/Akonadi is in "maintenance mode", who knows if there's
now time for a WebKit composer?

Personally, I always have too much stuff to do. Some things take a week, some
take two months. But usually I have to multitask and as a result some tasks
take years to complete. Had I taken a week out for task 1, I'd have enjoyed the
fruits of that week while working on all the other stuff after that. Life just
isn't sequential.

In the end, it's all up to the devs. Thanks for all the effort put into this
fine and promising platform.
