This procedure compiles the kdepim package. There is more in the kdepim package than just kmail and all the programs in kdepim will be replaced with the 4.4.11.1 release. If you converted to kmail2 you will have to save your emails since you converted to kmail2 and move them to kmail1. You should do a complete backup of your system before installing the 4.4.11.1 release. Things can and do go wrong, so a backup is absolutely necessary. I would recommend that you create a virtual machine such as free vmplayer found a
www.vmware.com and test that you will not lose any data from installing an older kdepim package. You would need to move over the folders .kde and .local to the virtual machine.
I have tested on Fedora 16 and Fedora 17 and the instructions are geared toward this releases. If you plan to use some other release the instructions may need to be changed somewhat.
