I find with KMail using imap, once you sort your labels/folders to skip the 
inbox and archive in the appropriate labels folder KMail behaves infinitely 
better. In fact, after having done so it is being much nicer than Thunderbird 
or Evolution. I have also heard that switching AKonadi to use PostgreSQL from 
the default MySQL helps.

Not meaning to say "well go away then" it sounds like SLED may be better 
suited to your use-case. I gave it a try recently, and its excellent though 
very very boring. But then, I'm not an "enterprise" user.
