Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Slackware Packages OS: Linux I'd like KMail to handle local folders for pop3 accounts separated from each other (like Moz TBird, Sylpheed and others do). Example: I have three pop3 accounts, joe@foo.net, jack@foo.net and jim@bar.org. Setting up KMail I name these accounts joe-foo, jack-foo and jim-bar. Should be stored on disk like this: ~/.kmail |-joe-foo | |-inbox | | |-my_folder_1 | | |-my_folder_2 | | |-my_folder_3 | |-sent | |-trash | |-templates | |-jack-foo | |-inbox | | |-my_folder_1 | | |-my_folder_2 | | |-my_folder_3 | |-sent | |-trash | |-templates | |-jack-bar | |-inbox | | |-my_folder_1 | | |-my_folder_2 | | |-my_folder_3 | |-sent | |-trash | |-templates | _AND_ - (the important part) this is how the tree box in KMAil itself should be arranged, too - one top level folder named by the account name I gave with their separate inbox, sent, trash, template. I'm surpsrised people haven't been asking for this more - imagine you run a company. Do you want the postman to cram your private mail into your company's mailbox? I don't think so. Even when my bureau is in my private residence, I want my mail neatly sorted by recipient and not in one big wad so it's up to me to tell them apart. I know I set up filters to immitate this functionality, but this is an ugly hack on user level, not by system. I gimped up a screenshot to show how I imagine it: http://www.vaultofsages.de/~dexterf/pub/kmail2.png
We already store multiple local folder caches in ~/.kde/share/kmail/{imap,dimap}. The functionality is already there to store a local folder tree that is disconnected from an IMAP account. It would be useful too to allow choosing the pathname of these local folders.
