Hi List!
I'm considering to move to KMail from Thunderbird, I played a bit with it, and after not-so-helpful googling decided to ask you.
Can I add multiple accounts exactly in the way it works in Thunderbird (out of local folders folder, each one with separate inbox, sent, trash and unsent folders). I saw that I can make separate folders for accounts in the local folders folder and associate accounts with it, but that's not what I want(sent, ... etc)
I really don't want all of them to go to one folder, and I also want to have Local Folders separately.
I don't believe there's a built-in ability to associate a separate complete set of standard folders (In, Out, Sent, Trash, Drafts), but you can specify a different In box when you define an account. And I don't think there's a way at all to have more than one Outbox. Nor do I think you could get the built-in Move To Trash operation to target custom Trash folders. The rest can be simulated with filters, more or less. The thing to explore is the considerable power of KMail filters. A few things to note: - Filters enabled for incoming or outgoing messages can be restricted to subsets of your accounts - Filters can be made to operate only when manually applied - Filters can be given buttons on the toolbar - Filters can be placed in a sub-menu of the Message menu - Filters can rewrite headers and invoke external filters
AND/OR
Can I integrate Thunderbird in Kontact? So instead of default KMail I will get Thunderbird embedded there?
I can't say I know for 100%, but I think it's highly unlikely. I do strongly recommend moving away from Thunderbird. I really dislike it by comparison to KMail. The only thing it does better is compose formatted messages.
Thanks a lot! -- Sergey Mkrtchyan
