My wife uses kmail and is fairly happy with it, but then again, I also have
all of kde3 installed on the box we use for a desktop at home. I actually
run a Cyrus server though, so we use kmail over IMAP, but I imagine if it can
handle IMAP sanely, it should do very well for local mailboxes + POP3, etc.
