Last time I tried KMail, it was actually in KDE, under Kubuntu or 
something, running in a very native environment.  It worked OK for POP, 
but crashed a whole lot under IMAP.  It is true that it was something 
akin to a year ago; I'll try it again, and report.  I am using an 
extremely stable IMAP environment now, part of my company's reseller 
agreement; if KMail's IMAP is usable it should work.  Although I'm not 
doing KDE now at all, I'm doing either Mint's default Gnome or ROX, so 
that might get interesting.
