-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Failed. It crashes kmail. I tried to create a new folder in Maildir format, delete it, create a symlink by the same name to /dev/null. I then tried to move an email in one of my other folders into the new /dev/null folder...it crashes kmail with a complaint that there isn't enough diskspace!
I then tried it by creating it in mbox format. Same result. There is just no way to send emails to /dev/null in kmail. praedor On Monday 01 September 2003 04:43 pm, Anne Wilson wrote: > On Monday 01 Sep 2003 10:32 pm, Praedor Atrebates wrote: > > I have struggled with getting kmail to directly delete filtered > > crap myself for some time.
