Dear List,
My ${HOME}/Mail directory is currently nearly 350 Megs in size. A lot of it is due to high volume mailing lists such as debian-user (48 Meg so far), and this can only get much worse as I join more and more high volume lists.
So could anyone tell me how they handle ever growing Mail folders? Perhaps 'mutt' is the way to go?
I had thought of splitting the {HOME}/Mail into two and
run a second instance of Kmail, with a different profile,
to handle the mailing lists, but KMail doesn't seem to allow
for this as far as I can tell (perhaps for some good reason).
What you want is procmail (or a similar utility).
Better, turn on Kmail's expiration processing.
