You'd have to create new folders on the IMAP server. Currently, the folders are in a users home directory on their computer. IMAP keeps mail on the server.
I believe this discussion resolved around Gmail James, so there would be nothing to change. Gmail's imap uses existing folders on Gmail's server.
I thought the OP was using POP from gmail to his email clients (kmail). If so, the mail is retained on the individual computers, not the server. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Right but he wants to cut over to imap, retain mail on Gmail servers, and only use his local files for historical mail. This allows him access from multiple workstations, which was the ultimate goal. I think they have it in hand at this point. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
