--- Comment #1 from Maurice Batey <maurice at bcs.org.uk> ---
When I tried KMail 4.13.2 during checking out 64-bit Mageia-5-Alpha1,
I came across some awkward situations:

(1) Kmail had lost the current location of the 'local' directory, so could not
find my (Mageia-4) email database. (I had not been using the default location.)

(2) Kmail had lost the whole 'POP' server setup. 
       (SMTP server setup still intact)

(3) All mail filters had to be adjusted to reflect the re-found Local folders.

(4) All folder 'View' settings had been reset to default.

So any relative newcomer to Kmail will have a hard time sorting it out.
  Perhaps some Help info should appear when KMail 4.13 realises it's a
'transition' stage from a pre-4.13 situation?

On the positive side, KMail's 'Find Messages' seems at last to be restored to
its old efficacy (thanks to Baloo?), and its overall performance excellent.
