(MUA = Mail User Agent, in case anyone, like me, didn't know off the top of 
his/her head).

IMAP in Kmail has changed drastically in recent versions (from what I hear, it 
used to be a nightmare).  Maybe it still has problems, but I haven't really 
encountered any with the version I'm using now (1.6.2).  Then again, I don't 
really do anything complicated with my mail, so maybe I'm not the best person 
to ask.  :-)

In fact, maybe that's something people could also respond to -- what cool 
things do you do with your e-mail that make it faster, easier to read, or 
otherwise nifty?

I like Kmail because it is fast (especially since I use Konqueror for my 
browser, so they share a lot of libraries and thus use less memory), feels 
responsive, has customizeable shortcut keys, has nice options for displaying 
(or not displaying) HTML mail, and it looks pretty.
