[snip] Can't really help since I gave up on Kmail years ago, but you might want to mention at least what kind of account this is (POP, IMAP, ...) as it could make a difference. Why do you think the KDE list isn't working? I haven't noticed any problems (though there doesn't appear to be any traffic on it today). poc
Just out of curiosity, what mail client do you use? For umpteen zillion years, I have been an old-fashioned pine/alpine user, and I'm very happy with it. But the text/ssh thing is getting less and less sufficient. I normally ssh to a virtual machine I have rented as my mail and web server, and read mail in a terminal. I'm very happy with this, mostly because there's little chance I'll accidentally download something bad. It's hard to pervert ascii text. And, mostly, I don't need to see whatever cute graphics and banners people add to their emails -- at least the ones I get. But... I'm having to deal with images and attachments more and more that I *do* want to see. In order to view the attachment and all I have is pine, I have to download it on to the Chicago machine, then sftp it to my laptop, and then open it manually. I have in the past set up vnc to so everything on the server, but I'm just not enthusiastic about opening attachments or using a browser on my server. If I open an attachment, I want to do it on my laptop. So, I set up roundcube on the server, and that allows me to retrieve attachments more easily. I'm reasonably happy with that. But I've been thinking about setting up a "real" client. I tried Kmail, and it "kinda" worked, but it's hassle factor seemed a bit high. I have about 15 specialty mail addresses (e.g. one each for different professional organizations, addresses for family members, a couple of throwaways for shopping, etc), and it seemed that *one* of them always had a glitch in KMail. billo -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
