Hi, I hope someone can suggest a solution to my problem. I want to maintain a cached copy of email on my laptop disk so I can:
1. Set KMail's "To Do" flag (or something similar) while at work, and then 2. deal with mails marked "To Do" while I'm on the train with no net connectivity. Using KMail's disconnected IMAP seems like it should work. There's just one problem -- checking for new mail is so slow it's unusable. It takes more than five minutes to do one check for mail -- every time. It spends most of the time in the "uploading status of messages" phase. I have about 16000 messages in the folder -- should I expect dimap to perform well in this situation? Using KMail's regular imap, a check for new mail on the same folder is virtually instantaneous. I also tried using the script "offlineimap" to maintain a cache on the laptop disk. But the problem here is that KMail doesn't propagate the "To Do" flag (or any other flags except the basic read/unread status AFAICT) to the server, so the cached copy doesn't get the flag status. :-( Is there a way to force KMail to store the flags on the server instead of in its cached copy of the headers? BTW, the IMAP server is Courier running on a sarge box, and is under my control if it makes any difference.
