Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.2-3
Severity: wishlist


I have been a long term Mutt user and have stored my mail in ~/Mail             
which is apparently special to KMail (unbeknownst to me until today).           
I opted to use KMail today for a second POP account and noticed it              
took a long time to open and once it did all of my current Mutt folders         
were displayed.  Worse yet, it created several new directories under            
~/Mail and reset all of the access times on the Mutt folders which              
really messed up Mutt's ability to tell me of new mail for a time.              
                                                                                
At the very least, KMail should notice when it is run for the first             
time that ~/Mail already exists (especially if KMail's private                  
directories are not yet created) and prompt the user whether to use             
~/Mail or offer to create a new directory and warn the user of the              
consequences.                                                                   
                                                                                
KMail should not assume that it is the only mailer used.  Right now the         
only way I can use KMail is to rename ~/Mail to something else and              
reconfigure Procmail and Mutt.

Yes. Newer kmail stores its mail somewhere under ~/.kde.

Closing this bug.

How could I install the SIMM from ICQ XP?

You should never forward to a board of the ISA port for unlinking the 
connection on a microkernel.
