I truly hope that's not the exact wording, or else that those were not core KMail developers! I know that GMail has a quirky IMAP implementation but telling people to stop using what's probably the main (free) email provider on the planet (because your application has too rigid standards adherence to support said provider) is akin to telling them to find a better MUA.
