Hello SuSE people,
Using Kmail 1.9.1 Am subscribed to several mailing list including this one. Designated folders for each list. I use the "Mailing List Management" tool to designate the folders as mailing lists. That works for that session only. If I close Kmail and restart it the setting is lost.
Any idea what I can do to make Kmail remember these settings, or is it a bug in Kmail?
It shouldn't be. It works for me with the same version of KMail.
Firstly, if you are not using the "detect automatically" function, check that you are clicking the Add button to move the mailing list address from the text entry to the list of addresses. That's the basic sanity check.
Will,Thanks for the offer of help. I am using the "detect automatically" function. Not sure what you mean when you say "click the Add Button"
Secondly, see if these settings are being saved at all.
KMail saves these settings in its main config file, $HOME/.kde/share/config/kmailrc .
You should have a group of settings for each folder in there. The name of the folder varies depending on your mailserver etc, but you can locate it using the name of the folder as it appears in kmail, eg:
[Folder-.1237860329.directory/.INBOX.directory/.lists.directory/suse-kde] .. MailingListArchiveAddress= MailingListEnabled=true MailingListFeatures=15 MailingListHandler=0 MailingListHelpAddress=mailto:suse-kde-help@suse.com MailingListId= MailingListPostingAddress=mailto:suse-kde@suse.com MailingListSubscribeAddress=mailto:suse-kde-subscribe@suse.com MailingListUnsubscribeAddress=mailto:suse-kde-unsubscribe-wstephenson=suse. de@su
Can you check that kmail can write to that file?
Yes, checking that file shows that KMail is writing to it.
Also, set up Mailing List Management, close the dialog, but don't exit kmail, then load the config file in an editor and see if the changes are there? KMail writes these immediately.
OK, did that. The changes are being written there. Unfortunately when I close out "X" and log in again the changes seem to have disappeared. Have no idea why. As I mentioned in the other thread, when I reverted to KDE 3.4.2 this problem went away so I never pursued it further. I apologize for my boorish behavior in not replying to you. Hopefully this problem will have "gone away" with 3.5.2 I am somewhat trepeditious of this though, hence my question about 3.5.2 Bob S.
