Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in Plasma"! Every week we cover the highlights of what's happening in the world of KDE Plasma and its associated apps like Discover, System Monitor, and more.
Kmail has its quirks, but I actually find it quite nice to use, especially with multiple accounts because it distinguish explicitly between IMAP accounts, SMTP accounts and identities.
Integration with contacts and calendars is quite smooth as well. KDE PIM suite is well integrated in Plasma in general.
I tried maybe 3 years ago and I found it incredibly buggy. I’ve been using Thunderbird, but definitely wish there was a KDE or Qt-native mail app that did what I wanted.
I have been using for more than 10 years. Again, I’m not saying it’s without bug, but every time I tried to go back to Thunderbird, I quickly realise I miss Kmail’s interface and great integration in Plasma.
Setup of KMail is very janky, but after that it works well. I’ve been using it for probably at least 7 years at this point as my main mail client on Linux. There’s nothing better Qt-based as far as I know really.
Thanks. Does it support multiple accounts? How are remote calendars & contacts integrated into KDE generally, or kmail specifically?

How long have you been using Kmail?
