Version: 1.5 (using KDE 3.1.0 (RC5)) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.2.1 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 Maybe this is possible, although I havent found out how to do it. But I got several machines with kmail in action on them all, of course I could do some rsync action to make the ~/Mail folder content be the same - but what Id really like is some kind of remote Mail possibility over ssh for example. By using ssh, I want to access my ~/Mail account on the different machines and have them listed under "Local Folders" in a folder-tree on its own. The name "Local Folders" make me suspect that there is indeed support for foreign mail accounts, but I believe this is related to NMAP support?
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.
