. Long time a go I tried Q4OS but didm't keep it because the devs seem to have changed a lot of basic settings (in TDE at least) so I spent a lot of time putting things back into place.
Like what?
Dang.. If I had of known, I would of installed regular Deb base, and then TDE. I like that Q4OS offers the old 2000 theme, like i've shared before, vs the Default KDE 3.x theme.
Same thing happened to me with Q4OS. It looks really good, and I wanted to like it, but I had to spend too much time trying to undo the changes it made to my system. The 'buntus, likewise, started doing more things that I didn't like (such as calling home a lot), then I ended up switching to Debian, then at last Devuan.
At last I am content to stay here for awhile; although if I had enough space for more machines, then I would probably start building my own again (out of salvaged parts and old boxes), and would explore other systems.
Regarding your email: My Kmail does that, too, from time to time; but, at least in my own case, I believe it has more to do with the external network (here in the building) or ISP. My connection goes from stable (with 1-2 mbsp over Tor) to unstable (which disconnections every few minutes, and top speeds of maybe 20 kbps). Usually when it gets held in the outbox, I look to blame my external network or ISP.
In any case, it is the same behavior, pretty much exactly as your describe, where I send an email, then it gets stuck in the outbox until I use SEND VIA my email provider.
If there is some other possible cause for this behavior, I would like to know, too; but my hunch is that it's the connection itself.
