Another piece of crap.  Use Thunderbird.  No crashes.

Does it incorporate Bogofilters?

I don't know what that is, but assuming it's a spam filter, yes, TB has
built-in "trainable" spam filters. They work well.

Allow easy creation of filters to move mail to various folders based on
origin?

Yes, absolutely.

Quote:
Allow for the creation of distribution lists for outgoing mail?

Yes, absolutely.

Quote:
Provide for multiple input sources and multiple output destinations?

I don't know what that means. Different email accounts? If so, yes.

I am asking, not arguing. Those are features I value in Kmail.

Konsole has a bookmark feature that I use all the time. Without it I am
less productive.

I have no idea how "bookmarks" could work in a terminal. <shrug>

And changing the white-on-black to black on a pale color was easy on
Konsole.

It is trivial to do in Terminal as well. Menu-driven, even.

How difficult is it to replace KDE 4.2 with 3.x?

Read the README that goes with the packages on the mirrors. I for one like  
the new KDE, so I'm happy, but at least for now, the old version is  
available for those who want it.

I have changed to XFCE so the gui problem has gone away at least for
me. But I have one app (Quanta++) that at the moment won't run with
the KDE4 libraries (e.g., Qt 4). Is it possible to switch to kde3.5
for just this one app?

I'll stick with KDE 3.5 for now. 4.2 isn't usable.
The only bad thing with 3.5 is that Yahoo IM support in kopete is broken.
The
fix is only in 4.[23].

Know of any good alternatives that run in KDE 3.5? I tried a few, but they
were either old and klunky, would not compile, or didn't work with Yahoo.

Pidgin.
They implemented the fix for Yahoo first, and the Kopete maintainer got it from
them.



There now is a patch for Kopete 0.12.7, the version in KDE 3.5, available:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdenetwork/+bug/430069/comments/2
I just re-build the kdenetwork package with that patch included. Works fine.
