Mark, you're right and I agree with you. I have TB setup and ready to use 
(just in case...)
But, as Kmail is KDE native, and I work in the localization team, and I need 
to try the Kde apps to check them and to file bugs, and also because I like 
Kontact and Kmail, I "do want" to use them, even if I have to struggle for 
their use and to understand and help, if possible, the other users in the use.

Of course, I cannot suggest Kmail for production use at its current state, at 
work people cannot permit to lose mails or wait hours after an upgrade.
That said, after Steve's suggestions, the system started to work quite smooth 
and fast, even if I dedicated 350 MB of 1 GB RAM to Nepomuk, and I have an 
"ancient" system (PIV 2.8 ghz / 1 GB Ram / 512 MB video card).

One thing that TB has and for which I want to file a wish for Kmail, is the 
possibility to decide how many months the program must check and sync the 
server's mail.

Ciao
