I also used to use kmail a lot but eventually gave up on it due to its 
imap support not being that good (IMHO). Does it still force the user to 
choose when setting up an imap account between 'imap' and 'disconnected 
imap' ? Either you choose 'imap' where messages are only downloaded as 
they are needed, but you have no offline support, or 'disconnected 
imap', where they are available offlne, but kmail insists you download 
them *all*, not just as and when you read them. This always seemed an 
insane choice to me

I now use thunderbird which has the best of both, offline support and 
download on demand...

I hope kmail's imap support gets some attention in KDE4, if it does then 
I might go back ...
