Maybe it's possible to respecify the location of the mail folder (though I haven't unearthed that setting), but even if it is, that's surely the long way 'round the barn.
ln -s /extra/disc ~/Mail by any chance?
If I were to do symlinking at all, it would probably be from a subfolder. But I'm still not satisfied with that solution, for several reasons. For instance, would Kmail get a bad case of indigestion if the symlink is to a read-only directory such as a CD? More important, I'm looking for a way to *temporarily* connect to an archive folder and choose that folder dynamically. Sure, I could create a symlink and later remove it, but as I said earlier, that's the long way 'round the barn. It requires going outside of the mailer to do the necessary twiddles. And it offends my sense of programming aesthetics. Paul
