Hi, not sure if I had to write you personally or only sending to the bug 
address would be enough.

hm, yes it was sqlite issue but I wanted to clean up data anyway, so I don't 
complain

I don't know if it's reproducable. It's reproducable that it does not check or 
show that mail has arraived in the mailbox which is annoying.

I'm using it only at work, so I can't test it @home, at least not that easy.

I was also about to ask if it's worth compiling the source and trying newer 
version. I' still not sure if it would be compatible with my underlying 
libararies as I'm stuck with kde3 on debian stable ATM.

thanks and regards
