i currently have numerous accounts in one instance of kmail but iwant to split them up so i don't mix home/work/mailing lists etc hence asking about activities rather than splitting them via different logins. but thanks for your comment
I have many accounts but use them primarily for outgoing. As you can see, this message has "opensuse@" Incoming, procmail puts opensuse messages in the opensuse folder. The input to procmail is fetchmail that fetches from all the accounts, including "opensuse@". I have a half dozen domains, Two of them are two different 'work' accounts. I don't have 'other' mail delivered to the 'inbox' names 'anton' in /var/spool/mail That is unused. Procmail delivers to a number of named "InBoxen" in ~/Mail/ Thus I can see the mail to be dealt with in the various folders without having to flip screens (be they virtual desktops or activities). This is a pretty easy to set up arrangement and easy to extend. In reality fetchmail and procmail do all the hard work, so it doesn't really matter what mailer I use. The real difference is in the "indexing". And that's where talk of KMail2 makes me nervous 'cos it raises questions that aren't getting answered. All those folders, the InBoxen, all reside on the mail server, not on my laptop. I read the laptop using Thunderbird that connects to the mail server via IMAP. So I can use this 'desktop replacement' laptop on my desk, or the dinky one when I'm on the patio. I can access this remotely though my firewall using TLS/IMAP-S Except for the speed it all looks just the same. There are other IMAP mail readers I could use ... I just like TB cos plugins to things like signatures, PGP, other nice things :-) The mail server imap server does indexing. My laptop doesn't need to. So when I read about Kmail2 and its integration with Akonadi and Nepomuk I get worried. They are doing sore, they are doing etch, they are doing indexing. WTF! I'm already doing indexing with my IMAP server! If I were to use a database for dovecot **ON THE MAIL SERVER** that raises the question ... what is akonadi/nepomuk doing on my laptop? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
