I've done that already (pushed out Kerberos clients to the users), and it
wasn't _that_ bad.  From what you list above, we already have 1) and 3),
2) ends up being hard to impossible depending on the platform, 4) is
"okay".  I personally can live without an automatic prompting for new
tickets (it would be nice), since the error you get when your ticket 
_is_ expired is usually very clear.

Actually, the options here are pretty good.  Eudora and Mulberry both support
Kerberized POP/IMAP/SMTP (on Windows and Mac).  Outlook, unfortunately, is
the big holdout.
