Thanks very much. Actually I solved my problem, as I mentioned elsewhere, by effectively doing what you suggest. I just created a directory ~/Maildir and was then able to enter KMail without the dreaded error message. Then I did more or less what you suggest, except that I did it within KMail, by going to Settings=>Configure KMail=>Accounts, clicking on Local Folder, and specifying /home/tim/Maildir when asked "Select the folder containing the maildir information:" The only sense I can make of this is that ~/Maildir is the default place (or one of the default places) where KMail2 looks for the Local Folders directory it wants. But to me it appeared that I was guided by a superior intelligence to create this directory, as I can't think of any rational reason I had for doing it, except that I use a directory with that name on a CentOS server to save my IMAP email. Though if it was a superior intelligence at work He might have suggested this a bit earlier, as I had tried a thousand other things first ... I had incidentally been to Akonadi Configuration, though not from System Settings, but all the relevant options seemed to be greyed out. -- 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
