*big gallic shrug*

My experiences are that stock, unmeddled-with KMail terminates abruptly 
sometimes on my setup, blocks the UI while it repeatedly fetches stuff 
from the server on folder selection, where Thunderbird multitasks and is 
highly stable.  Therefore I don't use KMail any more.  I actually tried 
it the other week because I hankered after the gpg sig handling it used 
to give me but it still broke after five minutes.  Fresh-installed Apps 
blowing chunks and terminating on an otherwise stable platform is an app 
issue, as is the UI blocking and alleged repeated folder fetching.

Great that you have a better experience, but for sure your experience 
does not negate mine any more than mine negates yours.
