I have 3 activities, work, personal and mailing lists each using different email addresses. At the moment i've separated them by creating 3 KDE users so i have to login and out of each of them. I saw a possibility of activities allowing me to have only one KDE login and 3 separate activities. Within each activity i'd have an instance of kontact/kmail configured for the correct email addresses/contacts etc so it was just a matter of changing activity instead of logging in and out a few times. Pure laziness on my part but i thought it made Activities useful for me but as it cant have separate instances of programs I don't really see its useful to me without being overkill.
as became clear from a separate discussion within this thread, you can do what you want by starting kmail for a different user, from within your present user session, using this command: kdesu -u <your other user> kmail & still, it would be much easier if you simply set up different "identities" within kmail. then you can choose, for every mail you send, from which email address it will originate; no need to use different sessions or user accounts for that. this feature is available in kmail under settings -> configure kmail ->identities. of course, you will have to set up separate accounts for these identities, to receive as well as send mail. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
