Yes Will. I download (popped) mail to my kmail. Now I want to forward some of the mail to my wife. Same computer, different user account with her own kmail. She will not download mail from our joint email address because she doesn't want "all that other garbage" I get. (quite a bit) Just wants stuff that pertain to her interests. So it is up to me to screen the mail and give her her stuff. I've been printing her stuff and leaving it for her but that is really getting old. Not to mention the wasted paper.
This is what I thought. He doesn't want kmail to filter the mail, he wants to do it by hand, in which case what I was saying should be sufficient.
Yes Constantinos, except what you were saying is insufficient, or I am not understanding it properly. Yes, I have a Local account set up for both me and my wife in kmail. My Local account is to receive emails for root. Her's is to receive emails supposedly from me. If I go to Yast>Network Services>Mail TransferAgent, (doesnt say if it is Postfix, Sendmail, Procmail or whatever) but is not automatically set up. It must be configured. It all seems to be for sending or receiving mails from/to the "outside", not locally. It is not very intuitive.
All I want to do is forward received mails from one user to another.
Is there a howto for whatever that MTA is in Yast?

Bob Try this: 1. Using Yast - Software - Software management, install 'postfix'. It may already be installed, mine was. 2 Go to Yast - Network Services - Mail Transfer agent 3 Choose 'Standard' and click on 'next'. 4. When General Settings appears, choose 'no connection to internet'. Click on Finish. 5 In your own kmail, go to Settings - Configure kmail - accounts - sending If you haven't done so already, add another account, and choose 'sendmail' as the transport. 6 In your wife's kmail, go to Settings - configure kmail - receiving Add another account, and choose local mailbox. Accept the defaults. 7 To forward mails to your wife, right click on the mail message and choose 'redirect' . Enter your_wife's_name@localhost in the box and then CHOOSE 'SEND LATER'. This is important as otherwise your default mail transport will be used, and you will get an error message. 8 When you've redirected all your wife's messages in this way, click on your outbox in kmail, and then on File - Send all queued messages via - sendmail. 9 Uncross your fingers, and check that the mails have been received. Depending on your kmail settings, you may have to manually check mail from your wife's local account. -- regards John johnmking_uk@yahoo.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
