That is exactly what I want to avoid. I am the main admin on the machine, but it sits at my parents house. And due to reasons Id rather not get into, they have the root password (and yes, they know Unix). They wont deliberatly seek methods of catching my mail, but if they find it they will read it. Anyway, I tried Mutt, and it messed up my inbox. (good thing I keep backups). It seems like it puts line breaks at a different place than Kmail is used to, because all the messages had funny line breaks, and peoples messages spanned multiple messages. Anyone else have a suggestion?
