Not really clear what you are doing as "Documents" directory exists in your home directory. Do you saving mail that is in inbox of Kmail externally using Save As from File menu? In KMail you can create file structure (directories and subdirectories of "Local Folders") and all mails can be sorted nicely there. Right click on "Local Folders" and select "New Folder" type for instance "openSUSE" and you will see new folder. Now you can again create subfolder of this folder for each of mail lists on opensuse. For instance make "opensuse" for [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you want to save mail from inbox just drag and drop, when you release mouse button it will ask you Move Here, Copy Here, Cancel. There is more convenient way to move mails using filters, that you can create on the fly. Right click on message in inbox and select "Create Filter". I guess that further steps are obvious, if not there is Help for KMail that explains details. If you have only emails from one list in the folder than you can tell KMail so and then when you want to write new mails to that group, you can do so by right click on that folder and select New Message to Mail-list. > After using Linux for a couple of months, I find that it is a > kind of PITA to have to double-snap to get things to work > in Windows.

Yes there is the way to use single click in windows, I guess that is default in some versions, but there is no way to select text in browser and than open editor, click middle button (or wheel, or both buttons with 2 button mice) and text is copied to editor. Bad thing with this method is, if you select another text before you copied first you have to right click on clipboard icon in task bar and find first one in the list, mark and than it will be copied to the target program. Good thing is that you can have few texts stored in clipboard. Another goodie is that you can have one text stored under middle mouse button, and another under Ctrl-c --> Ctrl-v. Endless possibilities. > One of these days I may use Linux only, but I can't do it > yet. > > --doug You can't abandon it completely if you have collection of games, couple of paid programs that you are used to and, even of equivalent exists in Linux, you don't want to learn how to use it, not to mention if you have your own templates that you developed trough the time, etc. My switch to the Linux wasn't abrupt, it was merely walk. I used it more and more as windows based programs were obsoleted, and I didn't want to buy newer versions and learn how to use them. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
