Re: kde-pim hopeless?

I've wanted to stay with Kontact. I've used it for years and years and 
years. I love the tight integration between email, contacts and Kopete. 
But I've had to give up. I've moved over to Thunderbird + Pidgin. I 
don't like either as much as I liked Kontact, but as Russ said, I need 
something that works reliably.

Perhaps someday I'll come back. But for now, Kontact and its components 
are just shells of what they used to be.  :(
