Not really clear what you are doing as "Documents" directory exists in your 
home directory. 
Do you saving mail that is in inbox of Kmail externally using Save As from 
File menu? 

In KMail you can create file structure (directories and subdirectories 
of "Local Folders") and all mails can be sorted nicely there. Right click 
on "Local Folders" and select "New Folder" type for instance "openSUSE" and 
you will see new folder. Now you can again create subfolder of this folder 
for each of mail lists on opensuse. For instance make "opensuse" for 
opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you want to save mail from inbox just drag and drop, when you release mouse 
button it will ask you Move Here, Copy Here, Cancel. 

There is more convenient way to move mails using filters, that you can create 
on the fly. Right click on message in inbox and select "Create Filter". I 
guess that further steps are obvious, if not there is Help for KMail that 
explains details. 

If you have only emails from one list in the folder than you can tell KMail so 
and then when you want to write new mails to that group, you can do so by 
right click on that folder and select New Message to Mail-list.

Yes there is the way to use single click in windows, I guess that is default 
in some versions, but there is no way to select text in browser and than open 
editor, click middle button (or wheel, or both buttons with 2 button mice) 
and text is copied to editor. 
Bad thing with this method is, if you select another text before you copied 
first you have to right click on clipboard icon in task bar and find first 
one in the list, mark and than it will be copied to the target program. 
Good thing is that you can have few texts stored in clipboard. 
Another goodie is that you can have one text stored under middle mouse button, 
and another under Ctrl-c --> Ctrl-v. Endless possibilities.

You can't abandon it completely if you have collection of games, couple of 
paid programs that you are used to and, even of equivalent exists in Linux, 
you don't want to learn how to use it, not to mention if you have your own 
templates that you developed trough the time, etc. 

My switch to the Linux wasn't abrupt, it was merely walk. I used it more and 
more as windows based programs were obsoleted, and I didn't want to buy newer 
versions and learn how to use them.
