I've been using kmail for a little while--since I received and installed 9.1--but the last 2 days when I logged out of kmail I got a crash message. I don't know if this has any relation to the inability to keep messages in a self-made folder in kmail, but it is annoying. Linux things aren't supposed to crash, I read. On the net, there used to be, apparently, a way to use Eudora 5.1 in Linux. Does anyone know how? The site is no longer available. --doug

Annoying. I have been a pine user (text based mail client) for years, but I am looking into a GUI mail client. I have been testing KMail (on SuSE 9.0) with my mailing list and I am impressed. It handles around 1.000 new messages a day and hold around 900 MB mail so far. It "just works" and I never crashes.

No. You are right. It shold work just as good as on 9.0. I am not on SuSE 9.1 yet so I am not if I can help you. But tell me: What do you mean by "self-made folder"? And have you done all the updates through YOU? Janus -- Roskilde University, Denmark. Department of Technology and Social Science. International Development Studies.

I made a folder in "Local Folders" in the kmail left-screen folder panel. After saving about 50 emails, I went to look at them one day and only 3 were still there. There was some discussion on the list here, but nothing ever brought them back, and I gave up. The only way I have to save anything now is just not to erase it from the inbox, or to print it on paper. I did the updates up to a few days ago. I see that there is a paper on the update thingie, so I will go see what it's about. --doug On Saturday 29 May 2004 04:33, Janus Sandsgaard wrote:

Doug, you didn't accidentally have auto expiry turned on in the properties of the mailbox in question did you? That, in combination with the kmail option to Expire old messages could lead to automatic purgeing (i think). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
Let's put it this way: I didn't have the expire box checked. Now I went and checked the expire box, and told the 2 other windows "never" and I'll see if that fixes it, but if it does, I would have to say it's not very intuitive. Thanx for pointing me in a direction I would not have gone. --doug On Saturday 29 May 2004 15:34, John Andersen wrote:

I can assure you this must be something unique to your setup, because Kmail has been very stable on my 9.1. I only SEE about 500 emails per day (too many mailing lists), but of course my MTA sees well over 1500 (this on a single user machine with aggressive spam filtering which /dev/nul's high scoring spam). I autosort mail to about 15 mail boxes, some of which I don't read for days. Kmail is rock solid. Some of the mailboxes are mbox format (legacy) others are maildir. Kmail 1.6.2 in 9.1 has been rock solid for me. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
