Hi Mark & Valter
I'd like to jump in this discussion at the other end of the problem. I have  been using TB for years and am happy with it. Lately I have looked into KMail and am thinking of moving over. One thing preventing me doing it is the fact that for work purposes I have Windows as a dual boot on my computer. I use Thunderbird in both and have the mail on a common partition so I can use my TB in whatever I am logged into. 
Persuade me please :-\

With your setup, which I assume is working well for you, there is no reason to 
persuade you to change ;)
