First, I'd like to apologize to the list for my outburst yesterday 
regarding Ask Holme's insensitive and extremely rude comments to 
Alexander. While his comments were totally unwarranted and un-called 
for, my reply was also somewhat extreme in nature and for that I do 
apologize. Under no circumstance do I extend that apology to Ask Holmes, 
however.

Please understand that in Canadian culture his type of behaviour is not 
tolerated, and it is partially due to this, that I felt it necessary to 
respond to his remarks. In addition to this, the posts on this list have 
been very helpful and congenial in nature, and because of this, his 
attack on Alexander came as an even bigger surprise which I was unable 
to ignore. However, I meant no disrespect to the other members of this 
list in any manner.

Second, Having given Alain SECOND's situation some thought, I can only 
suggest that one way to meet his requirement would be to find a way to 
permanently set a default in KMail so that messages are not deleted from 
the server when a user retrieves his/her emails, used in conjunction 
with a script file run from a cron job each day that backs up all emails 
in that user's folder to a root protected backup file or "tar.gz".

What I am suggesting may not even be possible, but it may be worth 
investigating as an solution. If you are able to set root permissions 
to each user's KMail preferences file, this should prevent them from 
changing the option of "Delete Emails From Server", and the set of 
emails on the server could be the copy that your client wants to retain.

Hope that helps Alain.
