Funny, because it is easy enough to do. I did it time ago. You just store email in ~/Mail, and tell kmail that this is the local mail folder, or something of the sort - I did this years ago, I don't remember the exact details. Kmail creates indexes on that directory. However, there is a problem: it doesn't detect easily when fetchmail gets new email. It may be that you have to exit kmail and restart it to get the indexes rebuilt for new email. A better solution nowdays is to install dovecot, tell it that you store the email in ~/Mail, and then configure kmail to pull email via imap from localhost. The advantage is that you can use kmail, evolution, thunderbird, pine, mutt... even simultanously and from different computers on your local network. I wrote a few notes about doing this, in the forum. It works nicely. Just remember to tell whatever mail reader you use not to create a local cache of the local imap server. That's double caching. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
