Took me half a day to migrate from KMail, after about 2 years of persistent
use. With further modifications (hidden options) and extensions tweaked to
perfection, this sums up to much more. That said, I am extremely effective
when it comes to mail management, owing to Horde, SpamAssassin, Apache's
BoxTrapper, accounts multitude, and Thunderbird (with extensions).
Best wishes,
Roy
