FWIW, I don't use KMail, but every contact I've had as a mail admin with people trying to do so has persuaded me that it is not yet ready for serious use. On this list you are about the third person in the past year to seek help here with some KMail-specific problem that doesn't seem possible unless KMail itself is fundamentally broken, and implies that the software is horrendously documented.
I have read numerous stories of IMAP problems with KMail...
We've read numerous stories about outlook, thunderbird, netscape, ... and even about imap itself.
Outlook, absolutely - netscape, sure... but it certainly is *not* justified to just lump TBird in with Outlook like that.
I'm not saying TBird is perfect - far from it, it has some things that really bug me - but the *only* IMAP specific problem we have seen in our office of 60+ users of Thunderbird - been using it since 0.9, IMAP only access - is the annoying problem of 'Save to Sent' failing, but it is/was only a very occasional issue, and simply restarting Thunderbird fixes it (I haven't seen that or had any complaints about that in quite some time).
Last time I tried kmail, it didn't have the old problems that used to annoy me. I don't use it regularly though.
I've actually been looking forward to the Windows Port of KDE just to try out kde-pim - yes I still use Windows for my primary workstation... I'm not a dev, and it 'just works' for me, but my next OS 'upgrade' will definitely be a *nix box - probably PC-BSD...
