Bug Description

Kmail is incredibly unstable application, crashing all the time.

Taking into account the fact is occasionally loose an email while crashing (!!!)
I would say overall kmail 4:3.5.7 on ubuntu 7.10 amd 64 is an epic failure.

How about downgrading it to version which is not such horrible, or upgrading to one that is not crashing daily,
or removing it from ubuntu, or warn users that is will use data and they should not use it do download emails with removing from servers or any improtant stuff.

Its nice that people develop software for free etc, but there should be some limit to lack of quality in application to which users trust their data

p.s. yes, I did report bugs in it, as did other people, but still even most recent versions crash so often....

Thank you for filing a report to make Kubuntu better. However, kmail isn't about to be removed and it's stable for many people, such as myself. Bug reports about specific crashes, with crash reports, such as bug 198584 that you filed will be much more helpful than rants. If you've filed other bugs, please link them here, and also look around and follow up on crash reports on bugs.kde.org. However, I am closing this report because there is nothing specific to fix here.

You may want to test Hardy to see if your issues are still present there. Now is the time to get them fixed for the release.
