Because kmail-1.13.7 is still the last stable version in portage and when I 
tried kmail-2 on another box I could never get it to work properly with 
sqlite3.  Kmail-2 really screwed up my messages (creating duplicates and being 
unable to delete them, not showing IMAP4 folders, or their content, etc.) so I 
steered away from trying to upgrade for good, or at least until kmail-1 is no 
longer supported.

I did try to learn how to use mutt, but I found that it was getting in the way 
big time when I had to use s/mime and gnupg for signing/encrypting messages - 
trying to remember what the serial number of a certificate is for each 
recipient is a bit too much even for a console application.
