It is considerably slower than The Bat! on Windows (if you do need to run a Windows mail client, that one is a dandy, written in Delphi) but KMail is not slower enough to be a real bother, just noticeable when deleting and when it does its cleanup after closing. My mail database in Windows is rather sizeable however (multi-account and more than 25,000 messages and attachments), and my mail database in Linux is miniscule, so it will be interesting to see if KMail slows down much as the database grows. What are the top three GUI mail clients in Linux, do you all reckon? Franki: I'd guess: Kmail Evolution Mozilla Mail Many like Sylpheed as well, but I'd guess the three above would be used by the majority. I was going to try using moz mail on a fat32 partition to see if I could have moz linux and moz winblows use the same data, address book etc.. Instead I decided to swap to IMAP and just use evolution on linux and thunderbird (mozilla mail) on windows. rgds Franki KMail does not have that 'parking' feature. What I do is remove the 'Delete' button from the tool bar, so I can only put mails in the Trash where they can be recovered again. The Trash can be configured to retain mails for a configurable period. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Franki: I am writing this on Mozilla Thunderbird, and it appears to do all that you want, in the accounts section, each account has its own copy of all the settings, so it would appear that moz mail does what you need. The version I have has a couple of odd bug, but nothing major. One problem I have noticed, is that because I have it setup to leave messages on the server, it occasionally downloads old messages more then once.. which is annoying but no showstopper. Its been a while, but I am pretty sure that evolution has per account settings also. rgds Franki Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Going back to the original question about parking - the way I resolve the problem is by having sorting folders, mainly for use by filters, but I also have an Archive folder, with subfolders. I move important things to there, and put no expire date on them. The rest of the folders can have expiry dates of 1 month, 2 months, or whatever seems to fit that particular folder's purpose. You can elect to expire all folders on exit, and if you have moved the biggies out it will take care of things for you.
