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.
It should do locking, which would mean that it would give an error if you try to open the same folder(s) from two computers (or same computer, two programs/users).
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.
Same here. Using imap is quite interesting even for a single user.
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.
Procmail is very simple, really. In "man procmailex" there are examples, it is one of the few easy to read, user oriented, man pages :-) As for imap, I wrote my notes on how to migrate from local folders to imap using dovecot in the forum: View this thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=447542 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
