Humm, maybe I'll have to look at it again. The last time I used it, on my laptop while I was in the UP, I found that while it worked well, it was very hard to configure. I wasn't aware they had commandeered the RMB to do much of that. If it can work with maildir's, it should be a piece of cake to import the nominally 12Gb corpus of old mail. Here, kmail hasn't been tasked with going after the mail for many years, so I don't have all those 40 second pauses why it does that. Fetchmail/procmail/SA/clamav do the fetching and what survives that gauntlet gets dumped into /var/spool/mail, which triggers a dbus message to kmail to go get it. Thats been working well for several years, even back in my fedora 2 days. The unix way, do one thing well. :) Thanks Jon.
