KMail is still crashing periodically for me (it seems to happen roughly after every three or four times I try to check in mail), but my worse problem, at this point, is the fact that my mail seems to be diverted or eaten sometime before even getting onto grelber. esrblog has made trying to get to the bottom of that his priority for today.
I still *like* KMail (or do when it isn't crashing), but I've never been crazy about the other applications in the K-Office suite. Except for KMail I mostly use non-KDE applications (Firefox for browsing, EMACS for editing webpages, OpenOffice for word processing, gthumb for photo editing, etc.).
Kmail and Konqueror are the only two I use, and I haven't currently got konqueror installed. I can get by with firefox, I just find many things it does annoying. It sucks mightily at scaling images, for example, and tends to freeze (to the point it won't even repaint) for 30 seconds at a time fairly often. These are mostly bugs rather than design flaws, I'm just kind of discouraged that coming up on its 10th anniversary the mozilla codebase is still this bloated and buggy. (Yeah, less than it was, but that's not an endorsement. I also note that firefox's spellchecker has underlined Kmail, konqueror, mozilla, codebase, and ironically enough: _firefox_.)
Unclear. See my most recent posts for updates. The short answer is he thinks that he did, but it remains to be seen whether that's really the case.
I know what you mean about Firefox freezing up. On the other hand, it crashes much less often than Konq used to for me. My browser is not giving me serious grief right now; my mail client is. :-(
