Thanks, Calvin.  But no. :-(  There is a kontact, but I would have said it is 
4's kontact.  Akonadi looms large!

I have even aptitude searched on trinity, and read my way through the whole 
list.  I know that KMail exists on Trinity because I saw it on  a previous 
occasion.  But it doesn't seem to be there now.

I see that I jubilated too soon.  There seems to be a problem still with two 
of the mirrors (squeeze/ main).  I assume that that could explain the 
disappearance of KMail?  (Or Kontact?)

Thanks,
Lisi
