I take it you are basically moving the appropriate folder and deleting the corresponding index files?

I'm not entirely clear what this contains, but it does seem that it is probably what I need, so I'll google to see exactly what it does. (I didn't see any mention of it in the KMail manual.) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
