I don't like kmail as it takes the microsoft approach and won't play nicely
with other programs touching it's mail directories unless you setup a local
imap server and access everything over imap (a bad solution IMHO)

Why? An IMAP server gives you total MUA independence.


And an overhead of another server program running in the background on an
already over stressed computer.

I stick with programs that are willing to share the same folder format
(maildir) without another layer in the middle.

Plus, kmail doesn't know how to move to the next message when opening then in
a different window which is really annoying
