custom Trash folders. The rest can be simulated with filters, more or

I do strongly recommend moving away from Thunderbird. I really dislike
it by comparison to KMail. The only thing it does better is compose
formatted messages.



In my test partition for 10.3 these days I have used both kmail and thunderbird.

I like the better management of mail lists in kmail (th. doesn't have any to speak of), but Thunderbird management of imap folders is much better: by default, the Sent folder is saved in the remote imap server, which is a very important feature for users on the move. Same goes for Trash, Draft, etc.

I couldn't find a way to define those folders on a per account basis in Kmail. Now I learn that the way is usine filters... although kmail filters are powerfull, that's not the way, IMO. This thing is needed right in the mail account configuration.

Also, with Thunderbird it notices instantly that new mail has arrived remotely at the imap folders. With Kmail I some times had to remind it to poll the server.
