The "requires KDE" I can understand being a bad thing for some people.
The rest, though, I find very strange. I've been using KMail since KDE
3.0, and Kontact since it was released, without any issues. I have over
50 folders (with sub-folders) holding 1.5 GB of messages, with some
folders having over 20,000 messages. Never had a problem with slowness
(except the period where the IMAP server was running Courier IMAP,
switching it to Cyrus sped things up a lot).
As for non-KMail IMAP clients, the ones I know and have used:
- evolution (horrid thing, too much like Outlook)
- thunderbird (nice, cross-platform)
Personnally, I'd recommend sticking with KMail, but I'm a KDE-whore. :)
