I'm glad you came up with a good solution for your email problems.  I found 
another one that might appeal to you as well.

I read a very complimentary review of the KDE4 KMail client, and figured I'd 
give it a try.  I've used Thunderbird for years on Windows and Linux machines, 
and I like it a lot, but it's got some warts that have been with us for far 
too long.  It seemed like something else might be worth a try.

Indeed, so far, I'm thrilled with KMail.  It has a cleaner UI, IMHO, and good 
features that are implemented well.  For example, my list replies go to the 
list if I simply "Reply" to a list message.  And the editor doesn't insert and 
remove newlines at random.  And it doesn't keep telling me that "Thunderbird 
thinks this message is spam" for every weather forecast I get, despite all the 
times I've clicked the "not spam" button.  It just seems a lot cleaner, and 
more intelligently put together.

You might find you like it better, too, and it's probably already installed.  
If you select the "leave messages on server" option, you can give it a try 
without interfering with your Thunderbird message store.
