I do not want to use kwallet. However, kmail the latest version no longer has the option to store the password otherwise (as far as I can tell). Therefore I have to enter my password each time. Does anyone know of an alternative perhaps even as alternative mail client?
Thanks Eddie
I tried to use kmail, and besides the kwallet connection you mentioned, I found that it took more than 6 hours to download all the imap mails I have stored in 2 separate imap accounts. I have about 2000 emails stored in various categories and different folders on both accounts.
Then I installed thunderbird and setup my imap accounts, and within 5 minutes I had all the emails downloaded from both accounts and was able to begin using the program. I also use lightning and the google calendar interface to be able to synchronize it all and make it a very effective PIM.

The idea of Imap is NOT to download the mail. Maybe the headers, maybe just fields from the headers, but never the entire mail, until you click on a message. You might have set you kmail up to use off-line mode, where it tries to download all of the message bodies, like it would for a pop3 account, so you could take it on your laptop on an airplane for example. I suggest your test was not informative, because the two MUAs were not playing by the same rules. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
