I'm sorry, but it's just that to me asking "Why doesn't my browser work with my e-mail provider?" is a bit like asking "Why doesn't my cow lay eggs?" ;-) It's not what it is designed for. :-)
That said, of course there are reasons for webmail to exist, it wouldn't exist otherwise. ;-) But still, the option to use KMail with IMAP should at least be considered, especially as IMAP doesn't preclude using the webmail on machines on which you don't have access to KMail.

Kevin.... The question isn't why doesn't my browser work with my email provider, but rather why doesn't my browser work with a website that everybdoy else's browser work with. And.... its an important website for a lot of users. It is a relevant and important question.
