Can I add the F15 repos and downgrade KMail? I REALLY don't like KMail 2. It's slower than molasses at the North Pole in January and it's a huge resource hog to boot. I absolutely HATE the new version and if I can't go back to a version that works, I'll have to find a new email client! :(

I've been told other distros tried, and that there are other various incompatibilities and problems, but we can give it a shot too.
(I'll see about whipping up some kdepim-4.4.x packaging, if possible, over the next few days).

It's reported that OpenSUSE have managed it - there may be some mileage in talking to their packagers. I'm all for saving unnecessary work.

I seem to be getting very confused. Yes, I found that, and I'm fairly confident that I've fixed it. What confused me is that I'm sure I was told last month that the setting is changed on the compose page, and Thunderbird remembers what you last set it to. Perhaps it's a matter of different versions? I don't know, but I apologise for the unwanted html.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=kdepim4&project=home%3Ap... Those are no official packages but they work just fine. The Fedora build target has some "unresolvable" dependencies, though.
Thanks Rex... I appreciate the effort.

OK, pushed some kdepim-4.4.x kdepim-runtime-4.4.x packages to kde-testing repo. Not sure of the yum magic required to install/downgrade to it yet, something like:
yum downgrade \ kdepim-4.4.11.1 kdepim-libs-4.4.11.1 \ kdepim-runtime-4.4.11.1 kdepim-runtime-libs-4.4.11.1
seems to do the trick for me. Then, you'd probably want to put in exclude=kdepim kdepim-libs kdepim-runtime kdepim-runtime-libs in various other places to avoid pulling in any kde-4.7.x updates.

Not tested but includepkgs should work.
From man yum.conf
includepkgs Inverse of exclude. This is a list of packages you want to use from a repository. If this option lists only one package then that is all yum will ever see from the repository. Defaults to an empty list. Substitution variables, described below, are hon‐ored here.

Ok. I tried just doing a "yum downgrade" for KDEPIM and KDEPIM-LIBS and that didn't work for me. It was buggy as hell and I don't think it gave me the same version of KMail as I had on Fedora 15. I am seriously thinking about downgrading my whole install as F16 seems buggy as hell!

Both, actually. I'm having problems with my screen resolution -- it won't go beyond 1024x768, when under Fedora 15, it was 1280x1024 on the same exact hardware, XFCE is screwed up - if I open a console window, it sticks itself in the upper-left corner, although I did have that problem under F15 as well. Not to mention KMail 2 has some serious differences in the way it's set up from the "old" KMail.
So, yeah... Fedora 16 is messed up, IMNSHO.

I can't help you with this but it might help if you created a xorg.conf and set the video resolution.
I *can* however help you with the terminal window position.
Install xwininfo if it is not already installed. Open a terminal and drag it to where you want it to open. Run xwininfo as 'you' and click on the terminal when prompted. Put the line that starts with 'geometry' in the terminal configuration file in your home directory. There is also a true or false line in there for a 'blinking' cursor.

What are these bugs? The only serious problems I have had with Fedora-16/KDE are to do with KMail2, and I've got over or around most of these.
I don't think KMail2 was ready for the real world, and was rushed out just to get it into the new Fedora distribution. I hope there will be a little more care next time round.

??? :-) KMail 2 was included in kde (software compilation?) 4.7
So the only option to not have included would have been to stay with 4.6 until kmail2 is ready.
That the kmail2 has been a disappointment upstream that is another issue but that is unrelated with Fedora kde team. I have changed from kmail2 to thunderbird because it does not send email from one of my major accounts so I can understand your frustration or at least I am frustrated with the transition that has been delayed since the 4.0 release (IMHO a text book case of how not to develop software :-( ).
Just my 2 ¢ (Euro cents) for this thread.
