[opensuse-kde] Problem with Local Mail folder in KMail 4.9.1
When I start a new Linux account and try to configure KMail the Local Mail folder is already present and can't be deleted. However this folder only contains three sub folders inbox, outbox and send-mail or similar names according to the locale. When creating another account also the sub folder trash appears. However starting a new mail message and trying to save it to the drafts or templates folder that does not work and these folders are not created. Somehow I managed to create a drafts folder, but I can't create a templates folder. Is this a known problem, is there some trick, or should I enter a bug report (upstream or with openSUSE?). -- fr.gr.

Hi, This known misbehavior is easy to solve by: Go to Settings->Configure KMail->Identities->Highlight your account and press on Modify button (this will open Edit Identities->Go to Advanced Tab (Edit Sent Folder, Draft Folder, Template Folder by adding the proper Folder for the account). Press OK and everything is ready to work as used to work again.

Hi,

This is not complete. You first have to add a sub folder to Local Mail folder by right clicking and choosing Add folder and type a self chosen name for that folder. Then when you follow the above procedure you can choose the new created folder. After that you will see that the icon of the folder will change. -- fr.gr.
