Sorry, I seem to have horribly messed up this thread. Trying to continue the discussion on a new thread.
Perhaps the gmail stuff is off target. But I think you will not be happy just sharing the kmail directories. I do not know if kmail does any locking, or if that locking works over, say, NFS. Two programs accessing (or just having open) the mail at the same time could be a disaster. This is why it is better to use IMAP. It is designed specifically for sharing mail folders. I also use it so my e-mail is stored independent of the mail-program-of-the-day. I can easily switch to another reader if it supports IMAP. Most do. procmail is worth investigating. There are lots of docs and recipes. The syntax can be very simple if you don't need anything too fancy.
Sounds like a nice arrangement, could work for us, but I don't know anything about procmail. And I would need some kind of link to a tutorial before even attempting it. I have installed the new system for my friends, now to configure it. Any pointers to an online how to etc. would be great. I looked in the opensuse SDB but nothing seems to be close to what we need. Thanks for the tips. Gustav.
