I have installed and can receive emails in Kmail.  I haven't been able 
to get the send configuration right yet, so I cannot send yet, but all 
fonts increase in size fine using Kmail.  I think it will become my 
default server.  It looks like it has the things I want.

I have searched and searched and come up with the same result.  Since I 
cannot increase the size of all the fonts, I have decided to change mail 
servers.  If Kmail doesn't satisfy me, I will try until I can find one 
that increases all print size to a minimum that is acceptable.

I may even change browsers, because even though I like Firefox, there is 
something very attractive about having both browser and email in the 
same program.  In fact, it appears that Dolphin, Konqueror, and Kmail 
are seamlessly in the same offering.  I may be wrong, but it looks that 
way.  That is really attractive, because you stay in the same package 
all the time, kind of a one click thing.  I was not prepared for how 
much I would like having a larger monitor.  This 22" seems perfect.  
There is little horizontal scrolling required ever, and my old eyes get 
a rest because of the increase in print size.

I got this information yesterday.  It has been wonderful using the 
browser, but now I am considering changing to Konqueror.  You suggested 
not having knowledge about Kmail.  I didn't like it when I first tried 
it, however, I was still much less knowledgeable about how to operate 
Linux.  Now, with a little more experience, it looks like KDE's method 
may be very much better.  I can already see that when I get send 
configured properly Kmail looks much better to me.  I am anxious to work 
the package.  It appears that having that address bar at the top you can 
go directly to files in your computer, or directly to the internet, or 
write or answer an email.  I haven't really looked into it yet, because 
I am focused on mail, but my cursory glance saw those possibilities.  
And if they aren't there, they should be if possible.  I have a poor old 
memory, but if my experience confirms what I just said, I will try to 
give you an appraisal after I have used it a bit.
