Its the older kmail with all but one bug fixed that KDE never fixed. That "bug" is the number of messages it can store in a given maildir folder has the signed 32 bit limit or 32766 messages. On a busy mailing list, it can exceed that number of messages in a year, but I've been renaming the folders to a subdir incorporating the year for the last 2 years and have had no further problems. Some of my busy and more valuable folders go back to 2002. TDE is itself a fork of KDE-3.5, and is still under quite active development, yet dead stable. But don't be surprised if you've not updated for a week or so, to see synaptic pull in 100 or more updated packages if you have the whole R14 release installed. But did I mention stable?, this machine, while being kept up to date with all that churn, still has a current uptime of 81 days and counting. But I'll not recommend it on smaller machines, this is an Asus X370 mainboard with a 6 core i5, and 32 gigs of ram. I am running TDE on two machines out of 5 here, the other machine is much less well endowed, only a 60GB SSD, and only 2GB of dram. It runs just fine but it only has one real job, running a 4 axis milling machine in real time. That it does very well. But it doesn't have a UPS so its uptime is about 19 hours as we had a 2 second or less power failure at 2:30 AM this morning that rebooted the 3 w/o a UPS. Not long enough to auto-start my 20kw generator. > Thanks > > B Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
