Works fine with Thunderbird and Apple Mail. And I don't think the fact the account wizard doesn't work, or the fact you have to do a sync, close KMail, then reopen it change yet more settings can be blamed on Google.

Like I said. In Apple Mail and Thunderbird the setup procedure is : Enter email address and password. That's it. That's how it should be these days. Setting up KMail is like setting up email used to be in 1990. It's not good enough, and KMail used to be really good indeed. KDE4 seems to have so much emphasis on superficial bells and whistles while anything approaching functionality has been left till last. It really has all gone a bit Windows.
