You're welcome! But there is something else I should have mentioned--hope you haven't unindexed your inbox yet-- on my kmail system, compaction was totally disabled "for safety reasons"--when I removed the index, all of a sudden I got thousands of old emails that had been "marked for deletion" (my words) (and no longer visible) but never actually deleted. The note below (from my offline TWiki-like thing) tells how to enable compaction on your inbox. I now try to remember to do that several times a day. regards, Randy Kramer ---++ kmail: compact inbox disabled * [[http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kmail-devel/2005-June/019581.html][]] <blockquote><blockquote><pre> </pre>On Wednesday 29 June 2005 14:43, Edwin Schepers wrote: > Hi, > When I try to compact my inbox, I get the message that for safety reasons, > compaction has been disabled for inbox. > But is there some method to do the compaction ?

Quit kmail (including the systray icon if you use it), open ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc, look for lines containing "Compactable=false", remove those lines, restart kmail. The previous discussions on how to improve this issue didn't lead to a solution yet, it seems. </blockquote></blockquote> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
