Hi Denis, 

LOL, extremely motivated developers. 
I am afraid they are needed regardless. Since KDE PIM 4.x.x Kontakt, Kmail and
Akonadi have not been working properly. In fact, KDE PIM has been destroyed. It
just does not work properly. Now, just look at OpenSuSE Leap 42.2 with kmail5.
The mailing list is full with complaints. People are fed up. 

I considered upgrading to leap 42.2. But since the kmail nightmare continues
with kamil5, I wont.  

Under Leap 42.1 I have a "workable" Kmail/Kontakt. But I all honesty, I am
growing increasingly tiered of a bodged KDE which can't get its act together. 

If anything, a migration to a new email client/PIM/Desktop is on order. 

I've been using KDE since SuSE 7.1

Kind Regards
Norbert Blobel
