KMail was always my favorite but the axis of evil that is Akonadi, Nepomuk, and Strigi have ruined it. Not long ago indexing just shut down rendering twelve years of KMail archives about as searchable as the spiral notebooks on my shelf. And that was a good day. On a bad day some filter kicked in and removed the message body from all incoming emails.
No amount of Google searching, no amount of reloading and resetting, no amount question on the KDE boards helped. Indexing might start, but it always froze
Screw KDE. I switched to Thunderbird, finding a Python script that moved all my mail archives from maildir to mbox. I hated to give up maildir, but at least now my email is usable.
