<div class="rteDiv"></div><div>Greetings all;</div><div>I'm on bullseye, brand new install. kmail starts, and has imported my older stretch Mail mailbox. And it can read those old msgs.<br>
</div><div><br>
</div><div>But that is all I have been able to make it do. Under settings-<add account, clicking on add account does not do ANYTHING, no response. Ditto for check mail, zero reponse.</div><div>So obviously I am missing something it needs which does not seem to be listed even in synaptics reccomends list.</div><div><br>
</div><div>The Question then is what?<br>
</div><div><br>
</div><div>account-wizaard, nearly all of akonadi, sendmail gnugpg are installed.</div><div><br>
</div><div>My stretch setup used fetchmail to pull from my ISP's imap account which is dovecot.</div><div>fetchmail hands the MTA job off the procmail which runs it past clamav, and then</div><div>spamassassin and what survives get put in $HOMEDIR, which historically has been /var/mail/me. A script I named mailwatcher launches inotifywait to watch that directory,</div><div>and when a file is closed, exits returning the filename, it immediately restarts inotifywait again, then checks the filename for 3 options and if any match. its sends kmail a dbus msg to go get that mail, which runs it thru a folder section and stashes it in the chosen folder.</div><div><br>
</div><div>I would be very pleased to continue this mail fetching because it removes 99% of the time kmail is frozen while its doing all that. This has been working flawlessly since I was on dialup at 2400 baud. I don't want to think how long that has been but I did my first linux install in 1998 so its been quite close to 20 years.</div><div><br>
</div><div>My old scripts still work, cleaning out my mail account at my isp, and generating a multimegabyte mailfile in /var/mail named me. but kmail can't see it..</div><div><br>
</div><div>Please advise what do I need to install yet on this new bukkseye install, to enable kmail to function?<br>
</div><div><br>
</div><div>Cheers, Gene<br>
