Version: 1.5.2 (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages I'm trying out KMail as a replacement for Sylpheed, whose IMAP support is less than elegant, and would like to remove the Local Folders entry in the folder pane as I am only using IMAP.
Subject: Re: New: Option for no "Local Folders" You can use the following workaround until this is implemented: Tell KMail to use one of your IMAP folders as startup folder. To do this you have to edit the file ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc (in KDE 3.2 it will be possible to change this in the configuration dialog). Add the following line to the [General] section: startupFolder=.server.directory/INBOX where "server" has to be replaced by the name of your IMAP account (check .kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/ for the correct value) and where "INBOX" can be replaced with any other folder on the IMAP server. After doing this you can simply close the Local Folders tree and forget about it.
