[opensuse] kmail and kwallet
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?

What'S the reason not to use kwallet? If you leave the password empty and allow every app to access it you won't even notice that you are using kwallet. Storing the password in a config file is a bad idea and thus not supported anymore AFAIK.

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

Yes that's true. Perhaps "download" is the wrong term to use. In thunderbird I have the box checked that says "keep messages for this account on this computer". The kmail equivalent (I assume) which I had checked was "configure for offline use" or something like that. So on thunderbird, even though I am using IMAP, if my laptop is not connected to the network I can still see the emails - at least the emails that I have already opened. When I was connected to the network I could get on and use thunderbird right away. With kmail2 I was just waiting and waiting and waiting for it to load all the emails. I could not open anything up or write an email. I don't know if it was loading only headers or trying to download every single email. I also tried in kmail2 to configure a pop3 account which I have, and it would connect but it would never show the account in the tree on the left side. I messed around with it for hours and couldn't make it work. I know a lot of people have found kmail to work great and love it. I just haven't been able to make it work for me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In my case I found useful setup one imap account first with one profile. Let the mails come into my computer to read them offline. (KMail2). Test SMTP for the first account. When everything is completed and there is no folder subscriptions left out went to the second imap account with another profile. Let synch all the subscribed folder finished. Test the second SMTP account too. And Voila, everything works perfectly fast. Hope this help you too.

Some email apps support an off-line mode, where you download your email and then disconnect from the internet. You certainly need that if you're still using a dial up or other time limited connection. Notebook users will often download messages too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

And had you read the rest of the message you quoted before rushing to reply you would have seen this was already addressed. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
