Yesterday I updated my Kubuntu Natty to Oneiric. I've spent today reinstalling 
Natty. The new version was great in general, but kmail2 is a very long way 
from being fit for purpose. Unusably slow and on my machine suffers about one 
fatal crash per minute whilst in use. If you don't use kmail though, it seems 
pretty slick.
