We have opensuse 11.4 and have been using KDE as the desktop over many suse releases.
The problem is that my wife is active on a number of community groups and needs to send a considerable variety of emails to various groups or sub-groups Early on she had distribution lists setup in Kmail and all was working OK. That was quite a while ago.
In the past couple of years we have moved through opensuse versions to 11.4 and upgrading KDE on the way to v4.6.5 with Kontact 1.13.6& Kmail 1.13.6 and using the default addressbook. She has had to resort to basically entering the addresses manually which is rather slow .
Is there any simple way with the current versions we are using to setup distribution lists? Or could list members suggest an alternative mail client that does a better job with distribution lists.
Not sure if that's what you need but here is what works with 12.1's kmail. I open a new mail and add several addresses. I click on "save list" on the right of those addresses, pick an address book and enter a name for the list. After that I open a new email and click on "select" to the right of the address field and pick the list from the address book. If I send that email the addresses from the list are added to the email. You can edit and manage the group via kaddressbook as well. The KDE used for 12.1 is available from the KDE stable repo for 11.4. Alternatively you can use the KDE:Release:47 repo.
