Nice review. I am glad somebody took the time to compare the different mail clients to each other. I've been using Evolution for years with great success, but have been interested in KMail/Kontact for a while.

I would just emphasize Evolution's ability to handle MASSIVE folders. Unlike Outlook, which gets caught in its own morass, when the folders become large, Evolution seems incredibly scalable. I must have accumulated at least 50k messages, and opening Evolution doesn't take more than a few seconds. Even keyword searches on huge folders happen instantly.
