KMail is apparently quite a decent mail client, brought to us by the [KDE] project. If you are one of those [GNOME] people, you probably want to use [Evolution] instead. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with [MozillaMail].

+KMail indeed is pretty decent by now (KDE 3.1). It's fast, has good filter handling, [PGP], addressbook, [HTML] mail (with caution) - pretty much what a daily news client should supply. Is a nice default mail client for the [KDE] environment - most users should be happy with this. [Mozilla] is too bloated for many people.
+
+Preparing a change from Outlook Express, I looked at importing the address book, and found that the semicolon separated file that OE exports can be easily imported into KMail. Select ';' as the delimiter and select which columns should match which fields in the [KDE] address book, and you're all fine. Except one snag: OE defaults to storing a users complete name rather than separate Given and Last names, making the name import messy.
