(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.2 (using KDE 2.1.2 ) Severity: wishlist Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) OS: Linux 2.4.0 i686 OS/Compiler notes: I have a university e-mail account where I get mails from home via POP3 (fetchmail). But I also read mails _online_ using the university terminals. Unfortunately there's no synchronization between the university folder and my folder at home. So I used to take my mbox-folder from this home on a disk to import it in kmail when I'm at home. Unfortunately if I copy (or move) this folder into my existent home-folder every message appears _twice_ although they both have the same message-id. Could you implement a more "intelligent" copy (or move) function which does not copy (or move) an e-mail if the same message-id already exists? Thanks in advance!

Your situation is a common one. I have two suggestions: Firstly you could choose one location (university or home) and at that location configure KMail to leave mail on the server. Then the other location (the primary/master) location receives a copy of all messages. Secondly you could consider using IMAP. Don.

Hi Don! You wrote: > Your situation is a common one.

The home machine is not directly connected to the internet. It uses a PPP connection to get the mails from my "main" university account (using fetchmail). There I do not have KMail because the admins won't install it. > Then the other location (the primary/master) location > receives a copy of all messages. Hm maybe I could get a gmx or hotmail or whatever account which receives all messages. Anyway: this one would lose all "new" or "replied" information. :-( > Secondly you could consider using IMAP. We don't have an IMAP server at our university just POP3. I thought about it yesterday: Maybe it would be sufficient to "just" include a "synchronize folder" option: all but one of different messages with the same message-id would be deleted. That shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Christian.
