I am a fan of (and contributor to) kmail and KDE and Debian and understand some 
of the problems unique to open source software.  These problems I am having with 
kmail are quite serious. I have many years of kmails, easily searchable, and so I 
really don't want to leave.  I notice a discussion of the RID situation at 

https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=138233&start=45 

but that discussion is way above my paygrade.  I am quite afraid that my trying 
something like that will cause me to lose emails.

Is there anyone on or off this list whom I could contact offline for some kmail help? I 
would be happy to pay a reasonable fee.
