RR I use the same mail folders across my FreeBSD, LFS and debian distros. On FreeBSD 5.2 (UFS2 filesystem) I mount LFS's ext3fs filesystem which holds the actual maildirs. The symlink to /lfs/Mail is sufficient. On debian (reiserfs filesystem) all I need to do is mount the ext3fs for mails. That way, whichever system I boot, I can always check my mails. The whole thing is completely transparent. No synchronizing whatsoever. I use KDE 3.1.4 on BSD, KDE 3.1.3 on LFS and KDE 3.2 on debian. They have never created any problems. In fact I have even used the same folders with RH7.3's kmail. The only thing I have to check is what type of mailbox the user-agent is using, i.e. whether maildir or mbox. Kmail stores mails in maildir format by default. If you use mbox type mailboxes, you can even open the same with mutt (or for that matter any other s/w) without needing to do any changes except create a symlink. Of course you can set up most mail agents to use the type of mailboxes you prefer. Also, copying the kmailrc file to another distro saves me the trouble of setting up any account details. And finally... a symlink to .gnupg folder lets me use the same GPG settings and signatures. Nevertheless, sometimes things can go wrong. For that I use mhonarc to create html archives of all my mailboxes. Tell me, is this situation hazardous? Regards, Bhaskar. - -- ___ Bhaskar Dutta [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG .eq.
