I will say again, for the record, I am not a fan of bloated GUI desktops like KDE and GNOME. I am a GUI minimalist and use the fluxbox window manager for my “GUI desktop”. However, I do like some of the applications that are available for both KDE and GNOME. For a long time now I have been using Kmail and then Kontact with Kmail for my e-mail needs. With Kontact/Kmail I have saved a few thousand messages in Maildir format going back several years, have dozens of contacts both personal and professional, and over 200 filters to keep messages organized. I have been pleased with Kontact/Kmail … until now.
... I have been pleased with Kontact/Kmail … until now. ... Why leave Kontact? After upgrading my Linux distribution and all the applications for same, my Kmail address book is not working correctly. ...
This is why I run dovecot as an IMAP server. I am completely e-mail client agnostic. (And I even have squirrelmail set up so I can access my home e-mail from anywhere).
Contacts can be a problem although some clients allow the addressbook to be stored in an IMAP folder.
Better: Use LDAP for contacts. Throw in an CalDAV server (like CalendarServer or DAViCal) for good measure and you're all done!
