[kdepim-users] Seperate 'sets' of mail boxes

[Jurian Sluiman]

Hi Peter,
I am a student and a member of multiple student societies. Therefore, I have 
several folders at the highest levels underneath the Inbox (study, both 
societies, business, subscriptions like kde and one for archiving). It works 
like a charm!

You can import your Pegasus email boxes (since I think it's a normal mbox or 
maildir format). The importing tool makes a special folder so it doesn't mess 
up your folder structure. Then you can drag and drop your folders into the 
right place. Adding your incoming email accounts and create the right filters 
and you're done.
You're talking about sets, but those sets have a relationship because of you. 
You are for all of them receiving the mail, so one Kmail account is not that 
unusual. Furthermore, your sets are just like other folders like I explained 
above.

As already said, Kmail is not designed for multiple "users". Each user at 
his/her installation has it's own Kmail storage. If you really want completely 
separated account, you can create different Linux (or whatever you're using) 
user accounts for them.

Greetz,
Jurian

PS. Please reply on the message you're replying on. It's really annoying 
finding a threat where you're posting reactions to yourself.
