I installed dovecot and gave it a more or less default mail location
# 1.0.14: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
log_path: /var/dovecot.log
log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
protocols: imap
listen: [::]
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login
login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
login_greeting: Welcome to davids mail service.
mail_privileged_group: mail
mail_location: mbox:%h/%u/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
auth default:
passdb:
driver: pam
userdb:
driver: passwd
Kmail will work with this and apply the filter rules to the IMAP mail. Stuff
that simply passes gos to the IMAP inbox, stuff that gets sent to other
folders still does.
What I would like to see is the whole Mail directory structure reflected in
the IMAP. I would like to access this from a remote computer and for now, if
kmail be running, see the same thing as I do locally.
The next step would be to get the filter rules off kmail entirely. Of course,
I can get the outlook on the remote machine to do similar filtering on that
machine. The point is not to be popping mail off the provider's server onto
both machines and not to shut down fetchmail be for I go to the other
machine.
