That is a good question. I cannot support all the votes for kmail. If |
| 14 |
you want to switch to mdir based mailboxes and you want to use kmail |
| 15 |
just as a local mailbox reader, the first thing that kmail does, is to |
| 16 |
move all your mails into some obscure ~/kde3.5/share/apps/kmail/... |
| 17 |
directory. After that, your mails are not available for other |
| 18 |
mail-clients any more. nice behaviour, isn't it? |
| 19 |
I couldn't find a way to tell kmail not to do that, but to read the |
| 20 |
mails from the preconfigured place instead. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
A second point is, that kmail does not scale well for large mailboxes. |
