Mail trouble

[Nathan England]

I use several different mail clients, and eventually each mail client would
download all the email in the box each time it checked for new messages...
Why I don't know, so now I use imap with procmail, only problem is kmail
doesn't supporrt imap...  so on to feetchmail.  Anyone know if kmail has
plans to supporrt imap in the future?  I haven't looked on the kde site yet.
maybe I should.
