When the KDE peeps decided to push out a half-baked Kde4 to replace the mature Kde3 I had to stop using KMail for long time until about 2-3 years ago when KMail for Kde4 became usable again.

And while I do use IMAP, I like the ability to cache at least some mail on my phone, as I live in an area of the world with very spotty cell phone coverage...
Indeed, if an email client doesn't allow storing local copies of email then one might as well use bloody webmail
