I am using Gmail via IMAP. The GMail's spam filtering function free me from considering the spamassassin. I rarely use Calendar, Notes, etc. What I want is exactly a popular email client, that is Thunderbird. I’ve just migrated from Evolution to Thunderbird. I am using Gmail via IMAP.

I get hundreds of emails per week, have tried a zillion clients, and well, they all suck in their own way. The cool feature in client A isn't in client B but it has something else cool instead, etc. And Gmail? Ugh. Though I use it as my primary address, reading it on the Web (vs. POP-ing it to a client) is terrible. The worst thing is not having access to any other emails if you're composing one -- unless you're willing to save to draft, click over to the inbox, click back to drafts, etc. Boo...hiss... So. Right now I'm using Mail.app and tolerating it. I've tried Mailplane (the Gmail overlay), Mailtags, smart mailboxes, etc. but pretty much all I have going on right now is a million folders and two million Rules. Of course, this doesn't help when I'm working on the laptop though. If dotMac ever started letting users sync Mail.app across computers, I might collapse from the bliss. Until then, I struggle.

I recently moved from Thunderbird to Evolution and am enjoying the integration with Spamassassin. Let us know how it goes with KMail.
