From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

IMHO, you should consider doing more troubleshooting on Kmail. I've never used it personally, but from my understanding, it's a stable program and shouldn't have problems doing the basics of email, like you're reporting.
I've been using Betterbird for a while and I like it. It's based on Thunderbird.
I second this! It seems to have more features than Thunderbird while being just a fifth of the file size.
I can‘t confirm this, but I have read elsewhere that Thunderbird is a bit bloated.
Aren't you concerned that the development is in the hands of just one guy?
I have used Evolution in the past. It was very Outlook like and did a decent job talking to Exchange. Now days i just use the web interface.
I landed on Claws Mail myself. It does look a bit dated, but the UI is functional and the client works. I'm content with it.
I used Claws Mail at some point in the past. Now notmuch+Emacs.
Thunderbird
Thunderbird is the usual recommendation for an email client. So try that
