Pardon tyhe top posting, but threading answers into the message is a pita on my palm.
Kmail is usable when the IMAP folders are local (ie on the same or near LAN), but over smaller pipes it is unbearable. If you don't host email in your basement it is unusable. Thunderbird is nice and fast over the same links with the same computers, so there is likely some sort of caching engine at work in the background. Whatever it is it is really fast. That I cannot fifgure out how to get kmail to accept unsigned LDAP SSL certs. Cheers, Gustin ___ Sent with SnapperMail www.snappermail.com ...... Original Message .......
