Hi ..
Well at the moment the only things i just cannot get to work are my filters to
move mails around to the various folders upon arrival it's still fighting
me it aint gunna win i have also stumbled on another slightly annoying
glitch in the folders list if i setup the coloms to show size ect of the
folders then close kmail down when reopened it has forgotten the settings .
