I do not think you understand imap correctly but I do not want to argue with you. Yes, it is saving locally, but it is part of the KMail/IMAP functionality. AFAIK it is used to sync up with the server. This is transparent to you as a user. All you need is to configure your account. IMAP itself is not saving any messages locally. On the server side however you can choose the mailbox type (backend) - Maildir or DB or whatever. You can have a look at the import wizard in kmail and read the instructions there. Also I found imapsync very useful for handling IMAP mailbox backups. We actually migrated 10x millions mailboxes with it. >> You can actually use both clients with same effect. > > And at the same time, whether on the same computer or multiple computers, > which is really handy if you regularly use multiple computers. The phone and the PC at least. ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
