I think going from KDE3 to KDE4 was a "Big Switch". I see this from
reading old Mandriva mailing lists and the like.
One sequence of keywords that came up is:
"KDE 3 no longer maintained" (with or without quotes).
This is basically true, KDE 3 no longer maintained, but it has been forked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.
