Easy! Right click on the KMail icon on your task bar and, from the
options, choose 'Remove KMail Button'. Then open Yast (or whatever the
package manager in SuSe is called) and choose 'install Thunderbird' :-)

I used to use KMail but got fed up with the newest one when it kept
asking for username password for all my accounts. Also it would neglect
to check some of my accounts even though it was configured to do so. I
would have to close and restart KMail in order to receive my mail.

So now I use Thunderbird and am very happy!

Blessings,

Nigel
