Cuz then I'd have to read lkml from firefox, whereas everything is now
handled by kmail. Habits are hard to break.
I'm missing something here. Why can't you send everything to gmail and
read from anywhere with any mailer that does imap? I'm still using
fetchmail and my own imap server but only because I set it up before
gmail supported imap.
I have embarked on the journey to imap on 2 or 3 occasions here, but have
totally failed to make kmail, running as a normal user, even find the imap
repo. And its a possibility I didn't have that setup correctly either.
There needs to be an 'Imap for big dummies' book written I guess.
I'm not sure if you are interested in switching to thunderbird (I like
it because it is approximately the same across the linux/mac/windows
boxes I use and with IMAP can see all the same mailboxes).

But, anything that follows the standard should work.
