Then vote with you feet, and use a different email agent. I am using the 
kmail published by the TDE folks, which is a fork of KDE at about the 
KDE-3.5 level, but with tons of bugs fixed. It has only one bug 
remaining that I'm aware of, shows up when the local email corpus 
exceeds 4Gb, which this install handily triples, in that it tends to 
loose track of a folders index, which translates to its not remembering 
the last email read in a given folder, so when you click into the big 
folders, its starts with the 1st msg. It will find the next unread for 
that folder but takes a few seconds.

Inexcusable behavior, change your agent or ISP even, its fixable. For 
windows folks, (this is linux, I don't allow windows on the premises) I 
hear thunderbird works well on windows.  See the mozilla.org site I 
think for that email agent.
