Re: [opensuse] Multiple accounts in KMail OR Integrating Thunderbird in Kontact

Hi List!

I'm considering to move to KMail from Thunderbird, I played a bit
with it, and after not-so-helpful googling decided to ask you.

Can I add multiple accounts exactly in the way it works in
Thunderbird (out of local folders folder, each one with separate
inbox, sent, trash and unsent folders). I saw that I can make
separate folders for accounts in the local folders folder and
associate accounts with it, but that's not what I want(sent, ... etc)

I really don't want all of them to go to one folder, and I also want
to have Local Folders separately.

I don't believe there's a built-in ability to associate a separate
complete set of standard folders (In, Out, Sent, Trash, Drafts), but
you can specify a different In box when you define an account. And I
don't think there's a way at all to have more than one Outbox. Nor do I
think you could get the built-in Move To Trash operation to target
custom Trash folders. The rest can be simulated with filters, more or
less.

The thing to explore is the considerable power of KMail filters. A few
things to note:

- Filters enabled for incoming or outgoing messages can be restricted to
subsets of your accounts
- Filters can be made to operate only when manually applied
- Filters can be given buttons on the toolbar
- Filters can be placed in a sub-menu of the Message menu
- Filters can rewrite headers and invoke external filters


AND/OR

Can I integrate Thunderbird in Kontact? So instead of default KMail I
will get Thunderbird embedded there?

I can't say I know for 100%, but I think it's highly unlikely.


I do strongly recommend moving away from Thunderbird. I really dislike
it by comparison to KMail. The only thing it does better is compose
formatted messages.


Thanks a lot!
