That's why I finally gave up on KMail.  It would sometimes freeze for over a 
minute.  Unacceptable.  Now I use Thunderbird at home and pine through ssh or 
squirrelmail through ssl when abroad.

KMail had one killer feature that seems to be lacking in almost all GUI MUA's. 
  I need the ability to save outgoing messages in folders I choose.  For 
instance, I have a seperate Sent folder for job search related emails.  Pine 
is absolutely wonderful at this, with it's "Fcc:" pseudoheader, and even 
allows me to associate address book entries with Fcc: settings.  Squirrelmail 
also lets me do this.  KMail does this well, but I can't deal with the lockups.

Thunderbird doesn't let me do EXACTLY what I want, but it does let me save a 
copy of the email I am composing to an arbitrary folder.  More work, and I 
save two copies of the sent email, but it kinda accomplishes what I want.
