Hi, I figured this little gem out.
Rather than configuring a standard IMAP server and specifiying to keep a local copy, you have to define the server as a disconnected IMAP right at the very beginning..... counter intuitive...... Now that I can cache my IMAP server, KMail insists on scanning the ENTIRE IMAP tree for new messages. Any ideas on how to stop this behaviour? thanks Sean (who might move to Evolution, or back to Seamonkey) On Sunday 18 March 2007 11:53, Mohammad Al-Mossawi wrote: > > When using IMAP in MozillaMail, a user has the ability to select folders > > for > > offline use.
