So, I'm playing around with KMail. I set up my account, I set it to leave the messages on the server, I retrieved my mail. All was good. Then I noticed that the Mail directory was in maildir format, not mbox. I prefer mbox, so I changed the setting in KMail, but discovered that this change has no effect on existing directories. So I blew away the Mail directory (no worries, all the mail is still on the server, so I'm losing nothing), deleted kmailrc, and started from scratch (or so I thought). All fine, all set up, Mail directory is in the right format now, but I check for mail, and it doesn't find all the old messages it pulled down the first time (they are still there, I'm positive of it). It only pulls down new mail received after the first try. Does anyone (I can think of one person who probably will ;-) ) know where KMail keeps the "last message downloaded" setting or whatever similar item. I want to reset that so I can truly start from scratch. Or is there a setting on the client side? Is it going off something on the server side?
(Oh, RedHat 8.0 is the distro in question, if it matters). Thanks. Ian
