Not directly - Kontact integrates KMail, KOrganiser (Calender) and KAddressBook. If you're not fussed about the Calendar then KMail will do fine. KMail/Kontact share mail settings so you can switch from one to the other with no issues.

The looser intergration that KMail/Kontact does with dolphin and Konqueror is that it will use them to display html links and attachments etc. Whereas thunderbird will bring up firefox etc.

Ok, the list will strip attachments off messages. You'll have to upload them to a image hosting service like imagehosting.com or photobucket, or you could email them to me directly (lindsay.mathieson at gmail.com), that would be ok.

Without knowing more I'd guess an authentication issue, I imagine that yahoo requires SMTP authentication - can be set in KMail via Accounts|Sending|Advanced tab.
