[OU] Switching from Kmail

[Jayhel Guislain]

I did after using KDE for many years.
I used to run my own mail server (James http://james.apache.org/) and I  
was using Kmail with Spamassassin to despam my mail.
My system  was slowing down significantly (even froze momentarily for more  
than 10 seconds) everytime that Spamassassin was doing its dirty job.
Moreover, it was a pain to maintain.
One day I decided to leave that job to the servers from Opera and Gmail.
That was a good decision.
Furthermore Kmail, like KDE itself, is to complicated to use. Too many  
options, useless bells and whisles.
I switched to Xfce 4.
I have never been a fan of Kontact. For obscure reasons I lost so many  
records, created so many  duplicates, with duplicated phone numbers, when  
I was using it. Full of bugs.
I don't need LDAP/LDIF compatibility, since I am not a multinational  
company.
I am using Opera's Contacts to accumulate and manage my email contacts of  
the moment.
Opera's Contacts is good enough for this job.
I use Jpilot that communicates with my PDA through J-link for my entire  
contact database.
