On a weekend I set up KMail with my GMail account. About 6,000 threads. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
What I did was set up the account and then enabled interval checking for |
| 19 |
every minute and then went off and did other things while ignoring |
| 20 |
KMail. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I'd suggest leaving the machine on overnight with KMail using interval |
| 23 |
checking. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Now I'm using KMail and it works really really well. |

I've used both Thunderbird and KMail, and I like KMail better. |
| 30 |
Thunderbird is supported by the Google how-to section, however, it's |
| 31 |
really easy to set up in KMail. Just look at the how to setup |
| 32 |
instructions for Outlook and then just use some common sense and it's |
| 33 |
really quite easy. |
