Compared to what I had been asking, I hope this one is simple. In V18,
I was used to having my email icon at the top right hand side of the
screen next to the audio, network connection, etc, but in V22, it
doesn't show up there but at the menu at the left side of the screen.
How can I get the top right option back?

Trying it out now the KDE Plasma. Makes the initial layout look a
lot more like Windows, but nice to see that I could immediately add
widgets to the bottom.
I suppose I could move those to the top if I wanted to.
KDE — now called Plasma, with the term KDE now being used for referring
to the organization that develops the software — has always been the
most configurable and most flexible of all desktop environments.

AND, it does so MUCH more efficiently than Gnome and its troublesome
gtk3 which is only going to get worse going to gtk4.
I think it is also great that the old Qt 3 is being actively
maintained as TQt to support the old KDE as Trinity DE as an even
MORE efficient KDE while it is also great that modern Qt and KDE
Plasma roll on.
I guess a question floating around in my head is: Is it KDE dev that
makes Qt a more efficient way to build a desktop; or is it Qt that
makes KDE/Plasma a more efficient way to build a desktop?
Well, let's put it this way: the KDE developers chose Qt for a reason,
and Plasma isn't the only desktop environment to use Qt. Even parts of Microsoft Windows and certain third-party Windows applications use Qt, because Qt can seamlessly integrate with whatever the underlying GUI
style is — of course, in Plasma, Qt is itself the underlying style.
Qt is incredibly flexible and versatile. The KDE developers recognized
this from the start and have always fully exploited this flexibility and versatility. In terms of user interface design, they are completely
in sync with the philosophy behind Qt.
I guess it's a synergy thing. ;)

Plus KDE's Plasma 5 has been subject to intensive development
devoted to reducing its impact on the rest of the OS. It could be
better but I miss the plugin to do file insertion.

What do you mean by "file insertion"?

I have a few files that contain some repetitive information
for example "Days of Week" with some other data included. I keep a
daily journal and every week I used to use the file insertion plug-in
to add a fresh week. Now I open the file, copy the contents to the clipboard and then insert that file at the appropriate point in
my journal. Sometimes to avoid frequent repetition I add it in
4 or 5 times. I hope that is a clear enough explanation. Every day I
copy the Day of the week from the clock and use it to write over
the place holder which today was Wednesday and I copied over it with Wednesday, 7 September 2022.
It was also handy to write a short document about something
then insert that document into a longer one concerning a more general
matter or add a document to another document.
