It is indeed css. If you're comfortable with chrome's developer tools
or firebug for firefox you need to find .email-body and add
"font-family: monospace;".
If you'd prefer a Bookmarklet add this to your Bookmarks toolbar:
javascript:function loadJS(url,callback){var
head=document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0],js=document.createElement("script"),done=false;js.src=url;js.onload=js.onreadystatechange=function(){if(!done&&(!this.readyState||this.readyState=="loaded"||this.readyState=="complete")){done=true;callback();js.onload=js.onreadystatechange=null;head.removeChild(js);}};head.appendChild(js);}loadJS("//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.js",function(){(function(){/***YOUR_CODE_FOLLOWS**/$('.email-body').css('font-family','monospace');/***YOUR_CODE_PRECEDES***/})()});
cut and paste that to an editor, remove the white space, then cut that
and paste it to a bookmark and name it something like HyperKitty.
On click it loads jquery-2.2.4 and then uses that to add the css rule to
the page.

You won't, since that's not how IMAP is supposed to work. But with the right mail client you can set it to only show the last few days mail in each folder. The server has everything that you don't delete, you just only *see* the most recent mail. You have other options, that you could do with the appropriate software. Such as moving so-many-days-old messages from your inbox to other archiving folders, using automatic rules. e.g. Using psuedo-code: If mail is older than 7 days AND to lists.fedoraproject.org move to fedora folder. That lets you read through your inbox for new mail, and be able to follow on-going threads, but not have a too-cluttered inbox. If you needed to see something older, you'd look through your archive folders. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.

The email retention policy is a function available in T-Bird. It isn't an IMAP server function. Simply right-click on any folder and select "Properties". One of the tabs will be "Retention Policy" which you can set for each folder. I have no problems with this feature. Changes made to the policy may not have immediate effect but can be "forced" by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Compact". When you have an issue with copies of the the same email appearing in a folder this is normally resolved by going to the Properties of the folder and selecting "Repair Folder" on the General Information tab. > > How do you work around the stated functionality of imap, that if you have a > mail sitting > in your inbox in Tbird and that mail is deleted from the server mailbox it is > automatically deleted from your Tbird inbox as well.

If I wanted to delete a message that was on the server but retain a copy I would simply create a folder under "Local Folders" in T-Bird and copy/move the email to that folder. -- You're Welcome Zachary Quinto -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I don't know why you're having this problem, but it has nothing to do with IMAP per se. IMAP has no concept of a retention period.

A bit distracted this AM) Hi Ed, just to be a bit off topic here, I used Thunderbird as well, and as of the last couple of months, using Imap, mainly because of not being able to get pop to work when I upgraded my internet service from adsl to cable, and my isp not understanding that when you connect your cable service to a different domain to what their adsl services are connected to, and they create a userid in the new domain of the same name as the orginal one, that in Tbird to continue to use the original mailbox you have to add the domain name to your login credentials. Using Imap does not alleviate this, I just found this when I couldn't get Imap to work for the same reason, and the isp's support guys were of no help in identifying this. How do you configure Tbird for the way you use the mail service (different retention periods on folders and only downloading mail you are interested in), as relative to the retention period of mail on the remote server, the version of Tbird I am using appears to only provide 1 setting relative to retention on the server which I have set to 7 days, rather than as I used to have it set to, to delete when downloaded (Are you implementing it via folder level mail rules?). Experience also indicates that this setting doesn't work properly anyway (I haven't determined yet whether this failure was relative to imap or pop) as the mailbox at the isp's end retained mail that was significantly older than than the retention period threshold.

My isp's support guys were unable to explain why, and also not explain why it was the all the emails that were duplicated did not physically exist in their mailbox and emails for the same days that were not duplicated still existed in their mailbox. How do you work around the stated functionality of imap, that if you have a mail sitting in your inbox in Tbird and that mail is deleted from the server mailbox it is automatically deleted from your Tbird inbox as well.

This really differs by person. The great thing about Hyperkitty is it doesn't change the use of email for those who prefer that old school method.

I can't see that setting up gmail and filtering is going to be any *easier* than using a news client with a news server (like gmane). But it *may* be more practical, if it gives you a better searching ability. For what it's worth, I always found usenet the most practical for the kind of thing this mailing list does. News clients tended to be geared towards handling masses of mail (proper threading, auto purging, ignoring, watching, etc), most mail clients are awful at it, and awful at quoting. And usenet doesn't require you to expose an email address to abuse. Websites are a pain, you can manage the odd one, but having to separately log into several different websites to keep abreast of a number of things is a major chore. And you have to deal with designers who like to continuously re-engineer the service.

I use the message filtering of gmail to put messages from mailing lists in their individual folders which are labeled with the name of the list. Then I simply access them via IMAP capable email clients. This way the lists are available no matter what platform I'm using at the time. I've used this method for *years* and it serves my needs.
