OK, very clear. Sharing the folders is not a good idea and IMAP is the way to go. Roger, thanks for all your posts. Carlos, I�ll look at your notes and read up on IMAP on gmail also. I installed the new 11.3 system already and I'm going to configure it in a couple of days. The migration to imap will take some time. it's a challenge, but I'm looking forward to it. I may follow-up on this thread later if I need more help. I really appreciate everyone elses input. Gustav.
I've sort of lost track of the thread, but will just toss this in for what its worth.... Many long years ago when we moved from pop to imap (changing servers), we simply weeded the chaff out of our local pop mailboxes and folders, replicated the folders on the imap account, and simply dragged huge quantities of mail from local pop mbox to the imap account folders. Its not quick if the target is remote , but it didn't need to be monitored, and would grind away quite reliably. This was back in the kmail under KDE 3.something, which quite frankly seemed more stable than today's version. It makes it possible to cleanly break away from local message repositories and make historical mail available to everyone using the same imap account. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
