storage-wise, kmail is only limited by your hard disk capacity. i have folders with >10,000 mails in them and it takes just over a second on my laptop to display the contents of the folder after i click on it. it's that slow primarily because it's a laptop hard drive so the speed on it isn't great. but a second for a 10k message folder is pretty good. i have literally dozens of folders and dozens of filters that sort out my mail for me. i have 6 years of mail in my kmail (i keep every email i send =) so over time it's also very stable. currently i have around half a gig of mail on disk. -- Aaron J.
