Could you maybe also leave a polite comment on the Techradar site?
You might link to your post for instance.
I believe it is important to be polite to them, because when testing so many 
clients, it is hard to dig into all details. And I am glad they are covering 
Free Software and Kontact Mail at all. They and their readers will certainly 
appreciate and enjoy to read more infos and pointer to better Kontact Mail 
package. 

Maybe even the beta package of windows at:

Being involved with Kontact and Kolab for a long time, your kind words make me 
happy. And I am sure all developers and other KDEPIM people will have read 
this with a rightful sense of proudness. Thanks!
