Funny that, I would have saideth Kmail it sucketh not, until a couple of days
ago when it started forgetting which messages were 'read'.
That is, in the Inbox, when I read a message it turned from blue (new) to
black (read), but if I changed to another folder then back again, the message
promptly turns blue again!@! Same if I close Kmail and reopen it. Not all
messages, just most - currently I have 114 'unread' messages and rising....
And nothing I've tried will fix it!
Opera mail is quirky ('sides, I can't get Opera running on this '64 yet),
Icedove (ex Firefox) is passable, Evolution IIRC won't show me the source
(which I WANT to do when I get a phishing scam with a phony 'link' to
security.ebay.com to click on).....
I just tried using Balsa as an emailer - it's reading messages fine but I
can't persuade it to send them! That is, it _says_ it's sent them, but the
KPPP window shows nothing going out...
Kmail suits me fine, when it's working....
