Apart from really really slow startup (of Kontact, not KMail), I don't have 
any problems here.

That's normal for POP3, has always been the case. Do you think it got worse in 
KDE 4.4? I'm not aware of any changes there.

Yeah, for me too, those are the only crashes I'm getting with KMail. I can not 
reproduce these, otherwise we could ask Szymon to have a look.

Yeah, I definitely need to allocate some time to fix KMail bugs (and in 
general to answer my unanswered mails in my inbox, actually)
