Hello,
I have configured KMail and using it in 12.3. Its nice. I have some basic queries as follows:
[1] If I have joined more than one mailing lists (for example, this one and off-topic), then is there a way in KMail to create different folders with the filter like I used to create in Gmail....
[2] All those messges (of KMail) occupy the computers' space. Now, during reinstallation/upgradation of the operating system, these all mails are downloaded back or should/must be taken as back-up?
I too read this list from Gmail. And any filters I have created via the web interface of Gmail are honored (the messages appear in the proper folders). I set my Gmail account to use Imap, and disable pop. This way all the mail is available on all devices I might use to read it, and it does not take up space on my computer. Therefore I can switch from Kmail to Thunderbird or use my android, and I get a consistent view of the mail, a message marked read in one device shows up as read in all devices and programs. Better yet, there is no significant amount of local storage consumed on my machine, its all on the server. And I don't have to backup the mail. (Unless you have a particular aversion to leaving mail on google's servers, this is a great way to read non-sensitive email such as this mailing list.). If you STARTED using Gmail via POP, gmail may not have any history for you on file, and any local caches on your machine may be all you have as backup and you would be well advised to save them before wiping your machine. --
