Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.2-3
Severity: wishlist
I have been a long term Mutt user and have stored my mail in ~/Mail
which is apparently special to KMail (unbeknownst to me until today).
I opted to use KMail today for a second POP account and noticed it
took a long time to open and once it did all of my current Mutt folders
were displayed. Worse yet, it created several new directories under
~/Mail and reset all of the access times on the Mutt folders which
really messed up Mutt's ability to tell me of new mail for a time.
At the very least, KMail should notice when it is run for the first
time that ~/Mail already exists (especially if KMail's private
directories are not yet created) and prompt the user whether to use
~/Mail or offer to create a new directory and warn the user of the
consequences.
KMail should not assume that it is the only mailer used. Right now the
only way I can use KMail is to rename ~/Mail to something else and
reconfigure Procmail and Mutt.
