Thunderbird is slower (for me, at least), but due that kmail now have
this annoying issue that it just "disconnects" and doesn't get new
emails after a while (after 1~3 hours, unpredictable), and I have to
close it and re-open to get it going again, I guess I have no way out
but to go back to thunderbird (evolution is not in good shape right
now either).

least it will get new emails.
