Hi: I have just completed a clean install of SuSE 9.0. I configured Kmail and Downloaded about two days worth of email about 1,800 messages. I then installed spamassassin and a spam folder. I shut down Kmail, then restarted. I then spent about 2 hours recreating my directory structure. I then shutdown again and restarted Kmail. I then started creating filters and then filtering email, creating filters filtering email. At the end of process I shutdown and then restarted Kmail. When restarted I noticed that the inbox folder is now sorted at the next to last postiion just above the spam folder. When I click on the folder to select and right click on it and click on properties to bring up the properties dialouge it comes up with the expiry messages dialouge box, as if there is no proprietes dialouge box. My kmail configrc file for the inbox folder looks normal when compared to a previous file. I have two questions. How do I get the Inbox folder to stay in the top position? and Is it normal for the standard system folders ie Inbox, Outbox, Trash, drafts etc to have no properties dialouge box on any expiry dialouge box? Thanks for any help answering these two questions. I do not evere remember having these types of problems with Kmail before. Ralph

Ralph Hi: Hate to answer part of my own questions, but I have the inbox sorted correctly now. Seems I must have Folder bar and changed the sort order. Now My only question is it normal for the system folders only to have a expiry dialouge box and not a full one.

Hi Ralph, you are right, the order of the Folders can be changed by pressing the Folder bar (so its alphabetical) or it can be sorted by the number of messages. Your second question: I dunno if its normal, but I have the same thing here, using Kmail 1.5.4 (KDE 3.1.4). Going to the Properties dialogue of one of the standard folders brings up only the expiry dialogue box. Just out of couriosity, why would you want to have another properties dialogue?

In the past four years that I have run Linux, mostly SuSE, I have not ever explored that dialogue box, so was wondering what is normal. Also this install has caused me problems that I have never seen in the past. After restoreing data from cd on one install. The system booted normally, but would not access my user partition. When I ran the diagostic software it stated that the /home partition was not mountable, that the partition table and the partition size did not agree, the solution was to delete the partition to recover lost space. Not a great option. So I took the machine down and ran the hard drive diagostic's and the drive came back with no errors etc. so I low level formatted the drive and ran the burn in test 6 times all with out error. Yesterday after a reboot, I could not access the user partition. But was able to create a new user and move data from the bad user area to the new. In the end I am not sure what has caused the error except for possible a bad data cd. -- Yours, Ralph.
