Thanks to responses from the list I have started a transition from Pine to KMail. The transition isn't complete. I am using SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional, KDE 3.4 level b, and KMail 1.8. (1) Is there a way to incorporate a Pine addressbook into KMail aside from the labour intensive approach? (2) I have a desktop system at work and one at home, how do I keep the mail configurations synchronised? Pine provided the capability to store address books and configuration on the IMAP server so that changes made at home would be picked up on the office system and vice versa. (3) Pine provided a mechanism to identify all mail addresses that are mine and would automatically remove these when I did a reply all. Mail is relayed from other corporate mail servers to the system that I use for reading mail. Mail addresses in the mail heeader are not rewritten. Is there a way to specify multiple addreses as being equivalent in KMail? (4) A lot of my mail includes gzip'ped attachments. In Pine, I can open these to review the contents, KMail wants me to save them to disk. Is there a way to have KMail open these without saving to the local disk?
