KMail forgetting folder preferences
All, SuSE 8.0. KDE 3.0.2 (latest YOU update said 3.0.2-1). I have 11 folders for mailing lists, and corresponding filter rules to populate them from the incoming mail. On all of them, I have checked KMail "Preferences > Folder holds a mailing list", and added the appropriate posting address to the associated field. However, a couple of the Properties were set more recently than others. I just noticed that the properties are set, and work correctly for most of my lists, but a couple of them, including suse-linux-e@suse.com, are not set. I can set them as often as I like, but the settings are lost when I close and re-open KMail. The Properties for the SuSE KDE folder (and most of my other folders) do not disappear. They were set several months ago. The unsettable ones were originally set at a later date, so I may have updated KDE in between the first bunch of settings and the later ones (attempted). Suggestions? Is 3.0.3 or 3.0.4 available via YOU for SuSE 8.0? /kevin -- ** DIR-ty DEEDS, and they're DONE dirt cheap. (Sing it, now...)

Have you checked the permissions on the Kmail config file (~/.kde/share/config)?

Dunno, but the ones for 304 from www.kde.org work a treat here! Dylan -- "Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not, we are Between the wars"

Humph! kmailrc has -rw------- with owner being me, and group being "users". Some other files in that directory at least have "r" permission for user and group, but for kmailrc, if you aren't root, you're nobody. :-) What do yours look like, and if you have different permissions on yours, what might have modified them on mine? I know that I never touched them explicitly from a console window, and Konq doesn't have root authority, so it's not something I would have done while idly fiddling and daydreaming... Also, what about permissions on the directories? Are they relevant, as well? And finally, why wouldn't KMail complain that it was unable to write to the relevant file? Quiet failure is not helpful behavior. /kevin
