If you define a KMail receive account which has 'Local Mailbox' selected as the account type, then Kmail will fetch mails from /var/spool/mail/user_name and will save them in ~/Mail It is also possibe to use procmail to take mails from Postfix, and distribute them to whatever folders you please. You will find an example of postfix/procmail if you follow the link below. HTH derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
