(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 2.0 Severity: wishlist Installed from: RPMs Please add more options to configure the mailboxes like inbox just like in pine. I use the mailboxes created by default by netscape mail that is ~/nsmail/Inbox ~/nsmail/Sent etc. instead of ~/Mail/inbox ~/Mail/sent-mail etc. I can tell pine where those mailboxes are so I use the same mailboxes under Netscape Mail and pine. But I can't do that under kmail. (submitted via bugs.kde.org)

I guess that's not what you wanted to hear? Regards Michael H=E4ckel

Ok if you use ln -s ~/nsmail ~/Mail/.nsmail.directory and create a empty file ~/Mail/nsmail Your Netscape mail boxes are displayed as subtree this method is at least= =20 reported to work.

Netscape mail acts the same way. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
I can make Pine accept kmail's dot-directories but I cannot make kmail accept simple directories as used by pine. Trying to use symbolic links as a more complicated approach I can't have both a directory and a file of the same name in the same directory i.e. linking a directory ~/Mail/subdir to kmail by ln -s ~/Mail/subdir/ ~/Mail/.subdir.directory works but I can't make an empty file "subdir" in ~/Mail/ as there is already the directory. Using a directory different from ~/Mail/ for kmail (or pine) and then link directories could be an option. Of course I could also change all existing pine directories to kmail's dot-directory standard and generate empty files but kmail could just as well accept the same simple directories as used by pine. Information on the reason for choosing the present kmail directory structure appreciated. Best regards Karsten.

Is this still walid wish for kmail 4.3?
It is! We love to use pine/kmail/thunderbird on single mail directory ;)
Will be fixed in kdepim 4.6
