In general you are not supposed to work directly with the directories - use the interface - this is my approach to kmail, but I also use kontact and not kmail directly. My mail is on the mailserver(s) - I have setup also one local and since then it is a blessing (dovecot IMAP - took me a while to configure). I came across dbmail some years ago, but never had the chance to try it myself - it looks even better than dovecot. I don't know how you handle your mails and why you should have them somewhere around. An error I made many years ago is to mix up the directory where imap was writing and where the local mails were written by kmail - if you have something messing up in between could cause a lot of headache. Since I put it right no issues, but also all mails go to exim/dovecot. hope it helps --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
