I've been using KMail and several POP3 mailboxes (my ISP, and GMail and even 
Hotmail) since KDE 2.something and I've never had the melt-downs I see from 
IMAP users, especially after Akonadi got into the mix. I use maildir folders, 
and that may help a lot. There are sometimes filtering problems, but that's 
down to Akonadi's timing and filtering faults.
