I didn't say I was proposing a definitive solution, for everyone. Those who find it more important to get every new feature as soon as it's conceived and somewhat implemented may indeed prefer to put up with instability. For me a MUA is a tool that I want to be productive with, not on, ie. spend time using it, not maintaining/updating/repairing it (except possibly in the source code, as far as I'm able to).

The only thing I new feature I think 5.x has that I miss (a bit) is support for GMail's non-legacy authentication protocol which supposed won't lock me out each time I connect from a new location. But my phone also needs the legacy login protocol so either way I'm stuck there.


FWIW, something else I do which may limit issues for me: I quit Kontact before suspending the computer because I'm pretty certain Akonadi doesn't really like connections dropping out from under it when in the middle of something.
