Why use a web browser for e-mail?

The best solution is to use KMail, follow the instructions for IMAP access 
and you can still keep all your messages on the server as with webmail 
(which also means you can still use the webmail on other machines, or even 
the same machine for that matter), but get an actual e-mail client which is 
much nicer to use than some AJAX crap in the browser.

A web browser is not an e-mail client!

That said, Konqueror's default KHTML engine can be persuaded to work with 
GMail by faking browser identifiers or such. And indeed there's also the 
WebKitPart, but that's not that great an idea as it's not the recommended 
HTML renderer in Konqueror (in fact the only reason it works at all is that 
Konqueror can embed any arbitrary KPart).
