I think going from KDE3 to KDE4 was a "Big Switch". I see this from reading old Mandriva mailing lists and the like.
Which is why we are so grateful to Timothy and the other developers for Trinity.
One sequence of keywords that came up is: "KDE 3 no longer maintained" (with or without quotes).
It is not maintained by the "official" maintainers. But it is maintained and developed by Trinity and maintained by openSUSE.
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 ...
Any comments?
Yes - the above makes no sense at all in this context, and your thinking is in error. The clue - a large one - is in the name of the list.
It is easier at this precise moment because there has been a major problem with Trinity's mirrors. But Timothy (with, I hope some help) is working hard and most of the mirrors are now up again. Unfortunately squeeze/main is not yet up, and it obviously contains trinity-KMail.
I was surprised not to find it because a) I was surprised that it hadn't been chosen for David's CD (tho' I can see why not), and even more surprised when I couldn't find it because my first impression was that all the mirrors were back up. I was wrong, but they will be soon. We were told"not before January 1st 2012" and almost all of them are now back up again.
So I shall soon be able to have my KMail. (Or rather my husband will - and I think he is quite pleased not to have to cross that bridge yet.)
I even wonder whether you are a troll. This thread had referred frequently to Trinity and never to KDE3. So where did you get the KDE3 from??
