FWIW, I don't use KMail, but every contact I've had as a mail admin
with people trying to do so has persuaded me that it is not yet ready

doesn't seem possible unless KMail itself is fundamentally broken,
and implies that the software is horrendously documented.
I have read numerous stories of IMAP problems with KMail...
We've read numerous stories about outlook, thunderbird, netscape, ...
and even about imap itself.
Outlook, absolutely - netscape, sure... but it certainly is *not*
justified to just lump TBird in with Outlook like that.
I'm not saying TBird is perfect - far from it, it has some things that
really bug me - but the *only* IMAP specific problem we have seen in our
office of 60+ users of Thunderbird - been using it since 0.9, IMAP only
access - is the annoying problem of 'Save to Sent' failing, but it
is/was only a very occasional issue, and simply restarting Thunderbird
fixes it (I haven't seen that or had any complaints about that in quite
some time).
Last time I tried kmail, it didn't have the old problems that used to
annoy me. I don't use it regularly though.
I've actually been looking forward to the Windows Port of KDE just to
try out kde-pim - yes I still use Windows for my primary workstation...
I'm not a dev, and it 'just works' for me, but my next OS 'upgrade' will
definitely be a *nix box - probably PC-BSD...
