The "requires KDE" I can understand being a bad thing for some people. The rest, though, I find very strange. I've been using KMail since KDE 3.0, and Kontact since it was released, without any issues. I have over 50 folders (with sub-folders) holding 1.5 GB of messages, with some folders having over 20,000 messages. Never had a problem with slowness (except the period where the IMAP server was running Courier IMAP, switching it to Cyrus sped things up a lot). As for non-KMail IMAP clients, the ones I know and have used: - evolution (horrid thing, too much like Outlook) - thunderbird (nice, cross-platform) Personnally, I'd recommend sticking with KMail, but I'm a KDE-whore. :) -- Freddie Cash fcash@ocis.net
