It saves a lot of hassle if you can store your eMail archive on an IMAP server.
Storage space there is limited, and most of the times it is the eMail text that is valuable for you to store (accessible via IMAP on a server), not the attachment (that you downloaded for local use).

Here a feature that Outlook Express supports comes in very handy: you can delete attachments selectively from eMail messages.
This I do miss in kmail.
I I get - for example - a program archive sent via eMail, with attached information on its usage in the mail text, I intend to keep this information on the IMAP server to be able to search for it using authors name, subject or recipients. The attachment itelf I cannot use via eMail, I download it and would now be very happy to delete it in the eMail text that I intend to store. (so to say, move the attachment to the local disk)

Unfortunately kmail does not allow me to do that - this is one of the very few things I need to boot up Windows with Outlook express in my vmware for.
I hope you are able to include this feature to kmail, too.

(It seems to me that this feature might be tricky to implement since IMAP might not support a command for selective attachment deletion. But somehow Outlook manages to achieve this, as well...)

Thanks!
