Not so far. On the other hand it's still only on my virtual machine. But there I 
have used it for a couple of group mails and that worked without any problems. 
Then again I haven't migrated any mail and this of course was a clean install. 
Might be different if you upgrade an old install.

Right now I'm contemplating if I shall try to upgrade my F14 main machine or do 
a clean install when I take the big dive. Anyway I will export all my mail 
(several GB) folder for folder, rename my maildir, ~/.local and ~/.kde out of 
the way, upgrade/install F16, configure kmail and then reimport the mail. Some 
work, but in this way I hope to avoid all migration problems and get a clean 
system.
