Yes, KMail crashes more frequently than Windows 3.1. However, if
used with IMAP (not POP3 and not offline IMAP) the crashes are not
serious. 99% of the time KMail is OK after a restart. On rare
occasions one must force it back to consistency by deleting all the
files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/ (most of which are dot files).
Since Evolution's downgrade, KMail is the only client I know of
that works well with hundreds of mail folders. And for that I
choose to live with software that explodes whenever the network
times out.
