Version: 1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405) (using KDE 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1) Compiler: Target: x86_64-linux-gnu OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22-14-generic very strange as in .../config/kmailrc : folders=... does not accept system variable such as : folders=$KMAIL_HOME where of course such variable has been initialized up front (in .bashrc for example) The only variable accepted is $HOME Can this be fixed ?
> Can this be fixed ? http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Configuration_Files In short, folders[$e]=${KMAIL_HOME}
Pino thanks it works ; funny because the $HOME variable does not needs this. Daniel.
Pino unfortunately Pino I have to back-up on this because within the same session if I modify as suggested it works but then after a re-boot it does no more as the folders variable is switched back to default : folders=$HOME/.kde/...... I think it may have to do with a fresh new instability of KMail as now regularly : - I loose signature feature, - my local mail box target folder is switched back to something wrong. This may have to do with a wrong "save" run on kmailrc this happens before. I take also this opportunity to report something minor : - all icones in config folder are supposed to be text mimed except a few like kmailrc (look at snapshot) ; can this be fixed and how.
Created attachment 22043 [details] no mime type Some of the files (like kmailrc) in config folders do no have text mime type attached.
To coclude on this : What I had to do : (1) in kmailrc file : folders[$ie]=${KMAIL_HOME} to avoid replacement by absolute path of $KMAIL_HOME value (2) in my .profile file this addition : export KMAIL_HOME=my_directory_path_of_kmail_data
