I have been using Kmail in the conventional way, i.e. retrieving mail from the three remote servers through the 'Net.
Now I wish instead for fetchmail to do that, and to feed its output to procmail, which will perform some filtering operations before making its output available to Kmail
The way procmail does this is to deposit its mail into file(s) in a dedicated directory in the user's home directory tree, and this is where kmail should come to pick it up. My question is about how to configure Kmail to do that, rather than retrieving mail as it does now, directly from remote servers, whether configuring from the Account Settings of Kmail, or from manipulating some configuration file of Kmail.
I believe the usual way is to run a local mailserver, have fetchmail retrieve mail and store it in maildirs, that you then serve out locally with POP3 or IMAP.
That's one way, and others have suggested it, but it adds an additional stage that I don't need. The simplest way is the local mailbox. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
