Sylpheed was designed as a graphical front-end for mh or nmh, the Rand Mail system. mh was originally designed as a bulletinboard style email system. The format in which mh stores its emails is a separate file for each email numbered in sequence in the directory it is stored. IMAP servers traditionally don't understand this format. Likewise, Sylpheed was not originally designed to read mbox or maildir style email formats. That may have changed in recent months, but IIRC, it wasn't the original intent. Personally, I'd love to make the nmh tools more friendly to other mail formats as well. But that's not really going to happen unless I roll up my sleeves and start coding. > evolution times out on e-mails with no body in the message <my boss > sends me mail like that *alot*> Ick. > and mutt just doesn't like email folders created by lookout. Huh? You mean the LookOut *.pst files? Sylpheed understands these? Kmail does? Evolution does? Weird. Can you export the folder to a standard mbox format? > So I have a question about kmail. ... Sorry, can't help you there... I use nmh and mutt or sylpheed if I really want GUI. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Get my public key, ICQ#, etc. $(mailx -s 'get info' chewie at wookimus.net) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
