Glad to hear it - I have every intention of using KDE4 on Intrepid.  My
complaint has been that _no_ fixes to kde-pim have been applied in KDE3 for
years, but that almost none of the ones I've been waiting for has been
fixed in KDE4.  That doesn't mean that I don't expect quite a few
improvements - I'd be so surprised if it's not greatly improved that I'd
drop KDE completely.

I'd attribute any problems _all_ to gmail.  I use IMAP to access a local
server, and to access gmail, and for the local server it's perfectly
reasonable (though it's inherent in the IMAP spec that it's not going to be
blindingly fast on anything but the fattest pipe)
