I use kmail for an IMAP account.  Neither of these options are ticked and I 
still have copies of all my IMAP mail stored on the local machine.  

The only bug I have found that after moving messages from an IMAP folder to a 
normal local mail folder, I have to reconnect to the IMAP machine before 
closing kmail - otherwise I get sent a new set of the moved messages.

David Webb.

[Hampshire] Open/Libre Office

[David Webb (NOC)]

I have just been sent a new password for the new OpenOffice.org site (I once 
contributed a couple of lines of java to solve a bug which annoyed me) - which 
has made me more conscious of the fact that we now have both OpenOffice and 
LibreOffice. 

It seems to be a waste of effort to have a split like this and I cannot find 
any discussion about the number of people who have moved across and the number 
who have stayed with OpenOffice.  Without getting emotional about the role of 
Oracle, has anybody any feel of how this will develop?  

Regards,

David Webb
