KMail even worse

Since you had a 600MG download, I am presuming that you updated to kde-4.8.1 and 
that the kmail you are using is actually kmail2.

Yes, I am using it as my only mail program and, yes, I have experienced an 
occasional crash, and, occasionally it just disappears without a crash notice. 
These crashes are rare, say once every few days, and I think I might have 
figured out how to avoid/minimize it: I allow all of the emails to fully 
download, until the 100% message at the lower right disappears, before clicking 
on any mail directories or individual emails. This seems to solve (not sure how 
to verity it) the problem, at least, almost all of the time.

Like you, I like kmail, which is "a single program that does one thing... well," 
and it is delivering on that promise for me.
