OK... well several problems got worked around. The rest... well the
rest of it should be bug reported over at kde. It would be a good
idea to mention that you've reported the bug at bugzilla also.
KMail does not remember message list panel columns and their order:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183515
Headers of columns of which contents are icons should be icons too:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183517
Wrong message is selected when thread is deleted:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183923
KMail does not honor font settings for message list panel:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178402
Changes are needed in the way KMail handles deletion of threaded
messages:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14060
If you people are experiencing one of theses issues, please add your
comments and vote for the bugs.
