Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux I have a number of mail folders in my own directory, I make pine to look into this directory and manage folders in it. I wish I could make kmail to manage folders the same way.
Subject: Re: New: Another local folders location Hint: You can probably use symbolic links for this. But please don't use pine and KMail on the same folders. KMail doesn't like that at all and you'll risk losing mail.
Subject: Re: Another local folders location I symlink my directory into ~/Mail/ but KMail won't see it (even after restart). It still shows me plain folders in Mail but mydir. Aug 6, Ingo Kl
Subject: Re: Another local folders location KMail expects the subdirectories that hold subfolders to have a special name. The following should work (do this while KMail is _not_ running): cd ~/Mail touch external_folders ln -s /path/to/the/other/local/folders/location .external_folders.directory After starting KMail the external folders should show up under "external_folders". Of course you can replace "external_folders" with another name.
