fetchmail vs kmail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings;

Due to a long standing bug in kmail that causes it to quit fetching 
new mail occasionally, I've been doing the fetch with fetchmail.

Is there any way I can tell kmail there is new mail so that both are 
not fighting over the /var/spool/mail/root file?  I think there have 
been some instances where one or the other had a lock, and I'm 
missing an email from time to time.

This is something that would be a piece of cake on my old now dead 
amiga, I'd just use arexx to send it a message, thereby achieveing 
synch between the apps.  Now in linux I think dcop is the tool, but 
no idea how to go about using it.  There are no manpages for it.
