I'd guess it's file perms somewhere along the line, probably on $KDEHOME/ share/config/konsolerc [1]. Ensure its UID/GID are set correctly and that it's writable by your user. Of course I know some of your kmail history from earlier posts, but a bit after kmail akonadified, when I was jumping thru hoops to retrieve yet another lost mail due to akonadi, I asked myself why I had to deal with that, and decided I didn't, so now I don't. I'm very happy on claws-mail now. (And BTW, claws-mail has user-side script extensibility as a deliberate feature, so I expect you'd get along with it quite well too. The only downside is that switching can be a pain, but I'm /so/ glad I did, here.) ---- [1] If the var is unset, $KDEHOME defaults to ~/.kde as shipped by kde, but some distros change that to ~/.kde4 or something similar. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
