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.
