That was a side note and not actually related to the issue kubuntu.de

Nobody's e-mail account was closed.

A user account on the server wasn't re-created.  Now it has been.
Issue over, move on please.

This is getting more crazy now.  What does KDE 4 have to do with

have a contract with Canonical for Kubuntu Dapper artwork.
