This is basically true, KDE 3 no longer maintained, but it has been forked and the replacement is Trinity (TDE), which is what this mailing list is about. > > So my thinking is that getting a working Kmail for KDE3 might > be possible, but harder than getting a copy of Kmail for KDE4, > since KDE4 is the current supported & development platform > for KDE ... There is a temporary problem with some mirrors, making many files not available. When the problem is cleared Kmail should be available again for TDE. OTOH, I hear that KDE4 is getting better all the time. I expect it will be perfectly usable about the time KDE 5 is released. :-) Also, I understand that openSuse has a version of KDE3 that they are maintaining though I have not tried it. Andy
