Hi All,
Is anyone using KDE and Kmail under Wheezy? How does it work? Is it stable
enough to use or should I wait to update from Squeeze?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi-ya, Mike

I tried KDE on Wheezy and other than an audio issue that caused
crackling on my desktop but not on my other machines
and I also couldn't import ovpn files in to network manager, I had no
problems with KDE for over 3 weeks as for Kmail, tbh I never tried
fully it as I couldn't get it to work with my Hardware GPG key but
that was an issue with me being an idiot and gpg-agent leftovers from
my gnome days

I'm currently using Jessie and I think most of KDE other than the
fixes for my Wheezy problems are the same.

If you do upgrade and find it works I'd be interested to hear your
thoughts as I'm currently using Ice-dove and I'm sure I read somewhere
that It has been dropped by Mozilla and I need a replacement client

this is why I shouldn't type half asleep, :o)

other than my problems I had in wheezy, Jessie seems to be the same but
fixed

:D sorry for the missing line

Probably KDE's mail client is considered stable enough to be
included in the standard KDE installation from Debian Installer.
Kontact as a whole may be a little buggy. Also, please have in
mind bug #695276 which states kgpg's failure to print or save a
revocation for the key.

Thanks Dick,
I am still on the fence. Having used Kontact for almost ten years, I do have a
bit of saved mail. I moved from Kubuntu 10.4 to Squeeze to avoid the Kontact
issues in the newer Kubuntu releases. Now that I have my wireless working,
there is no great pressure to move.

I must say how pleased I am the Squeeze is less buggy than Kubuntu was. I
should have moved sooner.
