Kmail is great, but I use Tbird for the same reason that I use
Firefox: extendability. Web browsing and email are very personalized
activities, and the ability to add extensions is important. For
instance, though I much prefer Kmail (and use Kontact for everything
else), this extension has me married to Thunderbird:
https://addons.mozilla.org/he/thunderbird/addon/594
(I cannot get the English version here)

This extension lets me assign a different email address to each
contact. This way I know who leaked my email address to the spammers,
and I can cancel addresses that receive spam. Of course, using it like
I do requires that one have their own domain name with a catchall
email address. Until Kmail can do this, I am stuck on Thunderbird.
Here are the two Kmail bugs:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33670
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159251

And two more that are relevant:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72926
