Re: [kde] Fighting line noise with Kmail

Is there any way to get Kmail to delete each message off the ISP's server
as soon as it is downloaded?

I think there is no GUI option for this, but it sounds technically
possible, so there might be a hidden one, i.e. through editing a config
file. However, since this would be the worst possible way performance wise,
it might not be implemented at all.

Thanks. I realise that with a normal line that doesn't drop, the performance
would be worse sending a 'delete' after each downloaded message; but with a
line that does drop, the behaviour I described above becomes almost unusable.

What you could try in any case is using POP filters (Settings -> Configure
POP filters) to defer downloading of some emails, e.g. all above a certain
size or all not from people in your address book.

Thought of that, and I'll try to implement it (though last time I tried, for
some reason, it wouldn't work). I'm using 1.9.5, btw.

This is actually quite an interesting use case (only download N messages
per patch), you should check if there is a wish item on bugs.kde.org for it
or consider adding one.

Cheers,
Kevin

OK, I'll do that. And thanks for the response.

Cheers
