Hello,
I'm feeling rather dense right now, so I'm hoping someone will
be able to tell me what obvious thing I'm overlooking. I'd like
to experiment with kmail (I'm currently using thunderbird). I've
tried to set up (under kmail) an incoming account using imap.
When I click on it after adding it, I get what seems to be a
listing of my home directory on the mail server.
The kmail documentation mentions a "Prefix to folders" field,
which I can't find.
Yeah, looks like this is outdated...
You need to look in the same dialog next to the Namespaces:
entry. Click the icon, and it should pretty much set it up for
you.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't make any difference.
After clicking on the icon, I got:
Personal #mh/,#mhinbox,<Empty>
Other Users ~
Shared #ftp/,#news.,#public/,#shared/
These *might* be correct. Basically, "Prefix to folders" is no
more, gone forever, and IMAP Namespaces are the correct way to
configure things.
My incoming email is in the standard '/var/mail' directory on the
mail server, by the way.
Which IMAP server are you using?
imap-uw-0106191041 University of Washington IMAP4rev1/POP2/POP3 mail
servers
I just tried against my imap-uw here and got the same settings with the
same effect.
However, try the solution at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/01/msg00422.html as it just
worked fine for me.
I had to do it slightly differently, but it now works.
I deleted '~' from "Other Users" so it's now empty, and changed the <Empty>
entry under Personal to "Mail".
Many thanks -- I really appreciate the time you took to help.
