Given that Thunderbird, Apple's Mail,  Outlook, and god knows what else uses
a file menu, I don't think whole people will have much problem with the
whole "File" menu paradigm.

in a what? file?
OK now I'm just being facetious, I'll stop.
The point I was attempting to make is the File menu is appropriate even.
KMail deals with files, saves files and on occasion will even eat files. But
that's only during the betas :-)
