I use several different mail clients, and eventually each mail client would download all the email in the box each time it checked for new messages... Why I don't know, so now I use imap with procmail, only problem is kmail doesn't supporrt imap... so on to feetchmail. Anyone know if kmail has plans to supporrt imap in the future? I haven't looked on the kde site yet. maybe I should. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig White" To: Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 7:16 AM Subject: Re: Mail trouble > Alan Dayley wrote: > > > > I am sorry that this comment may not be much help, really.
