Problem with Kontact on ubuntu 7.10

[James Hughes]

Well as a long time Kubuntu user I thought I would wade in on this topic :)

I am using the new 'enterprise' kontact in kubuntu and crash it does...sadly a 
lot. Moving large amounts of emails, deleting imap accounts and pressing too 
many buttons at once all seem to be things that 'upset' the kontact program.

That said the new functionality is really useful like being able to move 
folders between imap accounts (takes about 50 attempts tho because of the 
afore mentioned crashes!)

I have suggested to Riddle that next year I may be starting up a Kubuntu 
Enterprise project, a fork of Kubuntu for the business desktop that stops 
striving so much for new functionally (as ubuntu always does with its 6months 
off of debian unstable) and instead focuses on getting a really solid FREE 
business distro out there with the power of deb package management and the 
notoriety of ubuntu. Maybe if I find some willing helpers for that program we 
can give kubuntu the care and attention it needs to make it play nice with 
kolab, which btw i still can not get to install on kubuntu 7.10.

Lots of work needed to get it running anywhere near as smooth as opensuse.
