Wow, I totally missed that one. I'd find it more intuitive to be able to set up the age-based download/deletion inside "Configure KMail --> Network," but it's surely better than not having the feature.
KMail has a very extensive and well-developed filtering system, so a lot of things that you might "expect" to find elsewhere can be created through the use of filters. This helps keep the app size down. It does make implementing bayesian spam filters a bit of a chore though, which is about the only reason I use Thunderbird rather than KMail for downloading email.

Oh gosh, I feel flattered and honoured. I like KMail a lot. Hope you will, too.

My problem with Sylpheed-claws was that it couldn't display pictures and if I wanted to open a link in my browser, I had to copy and paste the link, and to copy it, I had to highlight it, and click on Edit...Copy... in the toolbar... Too Long...

Of course it can display images, you click on the image's icon to view it. Also, I have no problems opening links within Sylpheed-claws with my browser... just double-click the URL. I think you ought to go to the preferences and change the settings next time, if there ever is to be one.

Are you on windows or linux?
I use both, although mostly Linux. When on Linux, I use Sylpheed-claws. When using Win2k, I use Becky!. There, covered both eventualities.
