Having done the upgrade and been at x number of forums and mailinglists 
it is clear to me that it is a sort of "kde 4.0" version. In other words 
go for it if you have time for nuisances and potential problems and 
bugs, not otherwise. Wait and see if it comes in SC 4.7 or when Kubuntu 
moves it to "backports" ppa.

As I understand only Arch moved it to main repos and the users are all 
but happy - many of them at least.

For me it works but I do have:
frequent "hangs" do to something called "conflict resolutions"
erraticly working spamfilters
a trash folder that can only be emptied manually
a search function that only works for subject lines

otherwise it works reasonably well - for me. But others have far worse 
problems.

Kind regards
