Downgrading is not possible from Suse repos. Installing it from elsewhere 
(even from source) is possible though.

I suspected plugin issues. Java or Flash support is often broken.
However the web-mail page is supposed to have only JavaScript. The page shows 
but e-mail messages not. It only shows a "wait"-cursot eternally.
It happens with 2 different popular e-mail services. GMail and many others 
work.

I have no idea how to fix it.
WWW and also Java are supposed to be platform independent. I was thinking 
already a long time ago how Linux improves and will work for any task.
It seems the web-related things have gone worse, not better.

I even installed OpenSuse 11.4 to a friend of mine. I said you can do almost 
anything with Linux that you can do with Windows.
Now neither his e-mail nor his online bank work. Right...
(The online bank is a complex Java app loaded by browser).
I will recommend Windows to everybody in future. At least all web-pages work 
there.

For my own machine I will try Mint instead of Kubuntu. I need a system that 
"just works". I need my brain capacity for other things than tweaking the OS.

I hope the issues got solved and work now.
