Actually, your link doesn't appear on the face of it to refer to what KMail calls Folders. > someone may have a ton of folders with archived mails > and is away some weeks only have access per mobile device > > nothing more helpful than unsubscribe from unneeded folders > without delete or change anything of the data So how would you subscribe to, or unsubscribe from, a given folder? Actually, I see there is a file ~/Maildir/subscriptions on my server. This does in fact list the folder Spam that I am interested in, but which I cannot see from KMail on my laptop. I see that if I run KMail on my server, I can see this folder. I can also see it if I run Evolution on my laptop. So it seems it is a specific KMail problem, rather than a dovecot issue. -- 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
