If that's the best reason you have for changing I suggest you are 
on the wrong track.  Its not at all uncommon for kde applications
to store stuff in the "hidden" subdirectory structure.  
Thunderbird does not have half the features or functionality of Kmail.

Hidden is not an apt description.  Its hidden only in the sense
of keeping it out of your way.

Kmail can import a gazillion different types of mail.  If you are
going to a package that can only deal with one type, does that
not tell you something?
