KMail is rather good, though I find settings UI to be non intuitive and poorly organized. Hopefully KF5 based version will address some of that.

They already released 5.0, and didn't change anything. What is more likely to happen is the development of a Plasma Mobile QML UI built on top of Kontact and the new Akonadi that you can switch between, and that the desktop version might just use a reactive designed mobile UI as default with the current UI being available as a toggle option.

That's a pity. I didn't get KF5 one yet since it's still in experimental in Debian[1] and I assumed it's not usable enough. Settings UI in KMail really needs some serious streamlining.

I feel the same way, I love KMail but it feels like a mess whenever I have to configure it.

How's the support for it on Windows and OS X?

I don't know about support, but my experience is it works fine on Windows.

Well, that's what I meant by support. Sorry for not being more clear.
