Been there, done that....    Don't bother anymore.  Thanks for the tip but 
searching is not my major problem.   I've been using KMAIL2 since I was forced 
into it around 9.10 (I think) and it has at least done 90% of its functions 
since then.   But now it refuses to show ANY mail...  just sits there 
"retrieving folder contents."
