Comment 21 for bug 857828

Well I can add to the cacophony of failure. I downloaded the full release of 11.10 yesterday and immediately got most of the errors that others have seen above. I currently have no email, but can get Contacts. Also, for some reason I cannot get my calendar to work either.

Unless someone has a fix for this pretty darn quick, I'm going to have to seriously consider a clean installation. Since that will mean me recreating all of my accounts, aliases and filters, I am thinking hard about moving to another package, like Thunderbird or Evolution. At the moment, it is mainly Kontact that has kept me with Kubuntu, so the end result of all this might well be (another) lost Kubuntu user.

*Please*; if anyone can offer any hope for a fix in the near future, please say now.

Sorry to rant on, but the decision to leave this bug in the full release was foolhardy in the extreme. It could be very serious for Kubuntu if many others have the same problem as the rest of the people on this list.

Perhaps it's time for radical thought and considering the provision of a roll-back solution?
