I migrated to Thunderbird in the system I was using Kmail on because 
receiving thousands of mails on the inbox instead of carefully filtered 
mails into dozens of folders was completely unacceptable to me. I might 
take filtering out of mail clients entirely and I am planning to use pan 
and gmane since that appears to be the better path atleast for fedora 
lists but neverthless I don't think the decision to let this into 
regression knowingly into updates was a right one. I went back and read 
after this happened the KDE SIG meeting minutes and it was very 
surprising to me that the team would have made such a decision. Not to 
harp on KDE SIG but it does seem that we don't value robustness as much 
as we should for updates in general and that is worrisome to me as I 
rely on Fedora everyday as a end user to get work done.
