Hey all, I've recently been looking at using Kmail (1.5.3) as my email client, in addition to Mutt. But, I'm having difficulty fitting Kmail into my PC's email system. I use Exim for transfer and delivery and Maildrop for delivery/filtering, and Fetchmail to get mail.
It's taken a some experimenting, but I found a way to make it all work for me; mostly. Essentially, I've configured Kmail for sending email and I have no Recieving accounts configured. That way, my inbox doesn't get corrupted everytime I recieve email (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=130346). This setup is working nicely for me. I can view email from Mutt and Kmail; changes to maildirs are seen by both clients; and, I can send email from both clients. However, I cannot see where new messages have arrived in Kmail until I select a mailbox. Is there some way of getting Kmail to do mailbox checks for new messages periodically while remaining open? thanks, jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
