O.K., time to jump in and stir things up a bit ;)
You want about the same things I would want from a decent mail
client. Netscape is a PITA, and I haven't gotten it to work right w/
7.1, it gripes about permissions, regardless of what they are set
to. FWIW, if you use fetchmail, it doesn't much matter if Netscape
doesn't natively handle multiple POP3 accounts, the way I see it. But
that's not the point here. My point here is that the kmail that comes
with LM 7.1 is 'broken'. It is several versions old; the latest 'stable'
is 1.0.29-2, LM 7.1 ships w/ 1.0.28. kmail managed to mangle more than a
few emails incoming, giving them 'No Subject', etc. The latest version,
1.1.x, which comes w/ KDE 2.0Beta 2, has threading, and is supposedly much
improved. But if you subscribe to the kmail list, and check out the bugs
still being reported, I personally find it hard to seriously consider
kmail for real use. The other choices are Mahogany, CSCmail, XFMail (and
it's new gtk incarnation Archimedes), Balsa, etc. I find it kinda odd
that there is really only one native KDE mail client. For now, I am
sticking w/ pine, and looking forward to v.4.31 or so, when it gets
threading.
