I assume you're talking about a POP mail server. I've seen a feature that retrieves only headers (in Eudora, I thinkit was a long time ago), but to my knowledge there is nothing of that sort available in KMail.
There is/was an addition to kmail, an external program: kshowmail, that did just that. It is for manual use, not automated, I think (or that's what I use it for, at least). It doesn't come in the distro nowdays (it did).
KMail _does_ have the ability to retrieve mail without deleting it from the server. That's what I use when I want to check mail from my laptop while out of the office (though that's not even a Linux system, let alone KMail, but it's a common option for POP mail clients). That option is configured in the Accounts section's Receiving tab for the account in question. From there, click Modify and select the "Leave fetched messages on server" check-box.
Which usually means "leave all on server", whereas Keith needs to be selective.
Thanks. That is what I have set up. So I can't set it to only read headers that contain opensuse.org?
I believe you need a specialised downloader, that looks at the headers and download only selected emails. Something of the sort can be done by some programs that delete spam on the server, without downloading them in full, when they match certain criteria. I doubt you can adjust it for what you need. And it would work better with imap than with pop3.
Easier to create a new account, as Jerry recommended.
By the way, the header you'd need to search for is:
"X-Mailinglist: opensuse".

Surprised that no-one has mentioned .... a) Getting Mail with fetchmail .... (As many accounts as you need when you need them) b) Filtering Mail with postfix/procmail (incoming mail from all accounts is sorted into local mail client folders by your own rules, as complex as you like them to be). c) reading mail locally with mail client. Though probably a bit of a steep learning curve for a newbie, using procmail is generally a more flexible approach than relying on the client to do the filtering because you can do a whole lot more than any client will let you do ... BTW with postfix in the laptop scenario one can also in principle compose replies offline that postfix can (automatically) send when a connection becomes available... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
