Comment 23 for bug 857828

OK. Things are a little better since I found this: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/OneiricOcelot/Final/Kubuntu/Kmail2. I had to jump through hoops to stop Kontact exiting after the error, but once I was in, I was able to import all my mail manually. However, I spent most of yesterday evening doing it instead of doing something useful (or fun).

I hope that the link and my experience will help people who find their way to this bug, but I have to say again that I suspect there will be legions of people who just give up and move to another suite, like I almost did.

This problem needs fixing fast!
