kmail from kde 4.4 to 4.6 was quite good, nice features like aggregation 
etc.etc.
but later versions won't work anymore without akonadi/nepomuk , which is a 
mess.
just look at the posts in mailingslists/forums about lost mails, duplicate 
mails, corrupt databases etc.
not to mention the lack of documentation/advice where your actual 
configs/mails are or how to deal with problems.
maybe 4.8 will solve many of these problems, but meanwhile many users have 
switched to thunderbird or elsewhere.
