Thanks a lot for looking into this!

Here's an attempt on updating the KMail feature list:

<h2>Secure</h2>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Secure Default.</strong> Default settings rather compromise on 
features than security or privacy.</li>
    <li><strong>End-to-end Encryption.</strong> Support for OpenPGP and S/MIME 
is built-in, and a setup and key generation wizard aids users in getting 
started with this.(TODO: is that correct, can't seem to trigger it here?)</li>
    <li><strong>Transport Encryption.</strong> SSL/TLS encrypted communication 
is of course the supported, as are a number of authentication methods such as 
GSSAPI (Kerberos) or XXX (TODO: what's that Google thingy, OAuth2?).</li>
    <li><strong>Strong isolation of HTML content.</strong> If HTML emails 
can't be avoided, KMail ensures no external references can be hidden in there 
to leak information or compromise your privacy. Additionally KMail's phising 
protections warns about suspicious links in such emails.</li>
    <li><strong>Spam Protection.</strong> If your email server doesn't take 
care of this already, KMail can integrate popular spam checkers such as 
SpamAssassin or Bogofilter locally.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Powerful</h2>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Offline Capable.</strong> KMail allows you to operate entirely 
without network connectivity by (optionally) syncing your entire email 
locally.</li>
    <li><strong>Multiple Identities.</strong> KMail separates identities from 
accounts, giving you a lot of flexibility when wearing different hats in 
multiple organizations.</li>
    <li><strong>Templates.</strong> A flexible template and text snippet 
system support you in automating parts of your email writing.</li>
    <li><strong>Multi-lingual.</strong> Built-in content translation support 
and per-paragraph spell checking language auto-detection support you when 
dealing with content in multiple languages.</li>
    <li><strong>Productive Composer.</strong> KMail's email composer comes 
with many small helpers to make you more efficient, such as warning about 
forgotten attachments, inline attachment compression or resizing of attached 
images.</li>
    <li><strong>Powerful Filtering.</strong> Besides automating the sorting of 
your emails by a multitude conditions, KMail's filtering system can also be 
used for implementing arbitrary workflows as it can integrate with external 
applications.</li>
    <li><strong>Searching and Tagging.</strong> Flagging and tagging of 
messages aid in sorting and information recovery, and so do the powerful local 
and remote searching capabilities.</li>
    <li><strong>Mailing List Management.</strong> Mailman mailing lists can be 
auto-detected and common mailing list management operations are directly 
available from within KMail.</li>
    <li><strong>Flexible Configuration.</strong> Countless configurations 
options allow you to tweak many aspects of KMail to exactly your needs and 
wishes.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Integrated</h2>
<ul>
    <li><strong>iTip Invitations.</strong> Meeting invitation emails are 
detected and offer in-place quick reponses, and are of course fed into 
KOrganizer.</li>
    <li><strong>Addressbook.</strong> Besides auto-completing address from 
KAddressbook, KMail also uses avatars and crypto preferences from there.</li>
    <li><strong>Booking Emails.</strong> KMail can detect flight or hotel 
reservations in emails from certain providers and offers to add them to your 
calendar.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Standard Compliant</h2>
<ul>
    <li>Supports the standard mail protocols IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.</li>
    <li>Supports push email (IMAP IDLE).</li>
    <li>Searching in IMAP folders fully supported</li>
    <li>Native support for inline OpenPGP, PGP/MIME, and S/MIME.</li>
    <li>Support for Sieve server-side filtering.</li>
</ul>
