Hi Doug, You can see Local Folders in left panel. Underneat, shifted right are inbox, outbox, sent-mail, trash, drafts, that are subfolders of folder called "Local Folders". If you want to organize your mail for instance to have private mail separate from mail lists, you can create more subfolders of "Local Folders". It is simple: - Bring mouse pointer over "Local Folders" and click right button. It will show drop down menu where first entry is "New Folder". - Click on "New Folder" and it will show small window that is asking for Name and Mailbox format. - Type as Name for instance Private. - For Mailbox format choose mbox. This format is a single file archive that is supported by most email clients (for Thunderbird it is default format) and it gives better access times on large number of stored mails. - Click OK. You can see now new folder underneat drafts folder with name Private. Using above method you can create more folders for different purposes. For opensuse mail lists I created "opensuse" folder, and that one has another layer of sub-subfolders for each mail list one. For opensuse@opensuse.org I made folder with name "main". Why is this better than saving mails using "Save As ..."? This internal KMail folders allow you to create and use filters that will put all incoming mails in separate folder automatically. To create filters look in drop down menu Settings, item "Configure Filters ...". There is no special need to separate mail to read and unread. KMail marks them automatically: - unread that just arrived is red color text - unread from before is dark blue, - read messages are normal black color. Threading has to be enabled for each new folder. In a drop down menu Folder look for item "Thread Messages". -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
