I think this is exactly the misapprehension we have to get over. I've never
used Kmail. To the best of my knowledge, I've never seen it in use. Any
information you could impart to me would be new. Even an experienced Linux
user will not have an encyclopedic knowledge of all software available for the
platform. An "expert" in one area of software doesn't necessarily know much
about another area. Personally, I'm familiar with two mail clients on Linux.
Thunderbird and mutt.
The beauty of a round-up is that even if, as an audience member, you are
familiar with the software being demonstrated, chances are you won't be
familiar with the next demo in five minutes time.
HTH,
