Just to be the odd one out I have no major issues with Kontact at the 
moment - using KDE 4.10.0 on Kubuntu 12.10

The migration was a pain and I have more than once reversed from an 
upgrade when mail address autocompletion went missing (as in 4.10.2) and 
I am aware that search for email is a bit haphazard.

I have some 4 pop and 1 IMAP accounts and all I experience are minor 
issues mainly related to filtering. The HTML editor needs revamping 
(that is being done from what I have read) and admittedly I do not use 
gpg encryption or signing.
