Bug 17550

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: kmail
Version: 2.0.9 mandrake 20001203
Severity: wishlist
Installed from: mandrake cooker rpms

My computer is dual-boot with Win98SE on one side and 
Mandrake Linux from Cooker on the other and i'd prefer 
to do as much as possible in linux.  

Currently on the Win98 side I use Netscape Communicator for
my mail and browser.  I like the fact that KMail and 
Netscape can usually read each other's mail files.  
Unfortunately there are problems having to do with the case
of the names of mandatory folders.

In order to share mail between the two sides of my 
computer all of the mail files reside on the Windows 
partition and I've created a link so that the mail folder
is linked to the location in Windows.  The problem is that
the Trash file and Drafts file are not able to be properly 
recognised so KMAIL tries to create them.  Since they 
already exist KMAIL says it can't create them and bombs. 
If I delete them and restart it creates them and works 
fine.

Would also be nice if the Netscape index files could be 
ignored from the list of folders as it makes the list 
twice as long.
