I would like to see this combined with Bug 46745. I have to work in two locations, home office and company office. I don't want e-mail from work going to home and vice versa, but do need access to both systems (in my case over an ADSL link with a steady IP addr) from either location. I notice KDE supports the fish:// protocol. Perhaps this would be a start to being able to access files from either side. I envision kmail --check being invoked without X11 (Bug 46745) regularly from cron. Thus I retain a uniform filter setup in each location, with mail appearing in the folders regularly thanks to cron-job execution of kmail --check. Then in each location use fish:// and ssh to get at the mail. My current method, running KDE over X11 with ADSL, isn't particularly satisfactory. Either way, would it not make sense to have mail fetching and filtering less tightly coupled to kmail, perhaps as a separate program executed from kmail? In my opinion it is better to consider two options here: 1) Consider IMAP 2) Use an ssh-X forwared instance of kmail. |
