Just a suggestion. Before you start bad-mouthing linux-on-the-desktop
because you can't
get Kmail to work... why don't you switch over to something with 

Gnome
Ximian Desktop
Evolution ( mail client ) 
Open Office

I use this  environment on a 24/7 basis at work and at home and I have
very little 
problems. With linux... there are options ( a lot of options ) just
because you picked
the wrong ones doesn't mean that linux is bad... just that you made a
poor choice in
picking your options. ;)
