KMail is buggy for more than one reason.  For example, it always 
sends mails as content-transfer-encoding:8 bit

This is sick - and totally non standard, even though most newer 
mtas are adapting to it.  ASCII text mail should always be sent as 7 
bit, that's the generally accepted standard.

Also - a few other bugs like an alarming tendency to slow down and 
eventually crash, given a heavy mail load (200+ mails a day for a 
few weeks).  It takes forever to refresh the view and repaint its 
windows, btw.

Use fetchmail and Mutt for multiple identities, that would be the best 
option.  

Sigh, I wish Pegasus Mail came in a Linux version.  Even then, 
Pegasus is so light that you can use wine or vmware to run it, 
without any hassles.  Download for free from 
http://www.pmail.com/dl and see for yourself.
