Another email (from Carlos E.R. reports how to copy Thunderbird mail into KMail, so you can avoid Gnome if you wish.

For all I know you can make KMail look like Outlook also, but why? KMail also does a few tricks that Eudora 4.0 doesn't know about, like refusing to accept .html screens until you permit it. (It prints the .html script, but does not translate it until you say OK.)

I would ask around if anyone's had the Chinese character problem with KMail in the version of SuSE you're using. Otherwise, I mostly like it. In 9.3 the problem did not arise.
