> 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
