I agree, for most things kmail is my favourite mail client. But I've recently started using thunderbird 1.5 for one reason only: performance. In my suse-linux-e IMAP folder I have something like 28500 email. and kmail is dog slow when working on it. thunderbird on the other hand opens it in a second flat and it's not faked, I can start working immediately.
I had about 45K emails in my suse-linux-e folder, and I noticed the same ~10 second lag when switching folders. I broke the older mail out into folders by year, and that reduced the lag to about 3 seconds. Much more tolerable.
So one of the main improvements I'm waiting for in the next version of kmail is speed. The functionality is there, but it is in serious need of optimisation
And based on conversations on kde-devel, I think we'll get in in KDE4. Regards, Mark
