Hi all, I also like to keep all my records, mail included, and from times to times I also have some annoyances with kmail, but I can share by receipts : 1. Backup regularly the Kmail config file, ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc; 2. The kmailrc allows you to change the directory where the mail files are, with "folders=/home/lcipriano/Documents/pim/mail". As you can see, I choose a different dir, so that is not a problem; 3. Exec the touch command in all files that are under the folders dir, has specified above, maildir, mailboxs, indexs, etc, and start Kmail or Kontact; 4. If this fail, delete ALL the index files and start Kmail, so that it can rebuild the indexes. Hope that helped -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
