From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How long have you been using Kmail?
I tried maybe 3 years ago and I found it incredibly buggy. I've been using Thunderbird, but definitely wish there was a KDE or Qt-native mail app that did what I wanted.
Setup of KMail is very janky, but after that it works well. I’ve been using it for probably at least 7 years at this point as my main mail client on Linux. There’s nothing better Qt-based as far as I know really.
I have been using for more than 10 years. Again, I'm not saying it's without bug, but every time I tried to go back to Thunderbird, I quickly realise I miss Kmail's interface and great integration in Plasma.
