But what do you do if you want to look at ancient email?

Everything is stored in ~/Maildir/ , with folders like ~/Maildir/.In-08 . The file ~/Maildir/subscriptions contains entries, eg In-08, exactly corresponding to the folders I see in KMail (minus the dots). I have a folder ~/Maildir/Archive/ where I have put some ancient email, eg the folder ~/Maildir/Archive/In-02/ is in maildir format with sub-folders cur,new,tmp (the last two being empty). But I see no way of listing the email in this folder in KMail. I can view an individual email in the folder by "kmail --msg <filename>" but this is impractical as there are dozens of files in the folder. I looked quickly at the dovecot documentation you mention, but didn't find anything helpful. I'll have a closer look at it though. Basically, to re-phrase my original query: How can one "archive" old email in dovecot/KMail so that it is not listed by a KMail client but can nevertheless be accessed without too much difficulty? -- 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
