I have made the same experience, i.e. no major problems. I've been using 
IMAP exclusively since more than 2 years. Even lost connections to the 
server don't cause major problems. Very seldom (once a month tops), I 
have to re-start KMail (and kill the kio_imap4 ioslaves) because it 
fails to connect to the server after a lost connection.

I'm connecting to a Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server. For a short 
time I also connected to my GMail account without experiencing any 
problems.

David, what server(s) are you experiencing those problems with?

Ingo
