[ILUG] Sync-ing kmail on desktop and laptop

[Pedro Jurado]

If you like groupware systems, you can have a look to kolab, it's very
easy to install and its compatibility with kmail/kontact is total.

Problem, you can't have another mail, web, ldap, ftp in the same
server. More information in http://www.kolab.org

With respect the first mail, are you downloading the mails with
fetchmail and then load in kmail with a local account?. In that case,
before to try to synchronize, you can run this command in the laptop

$> dcop kmail KMailIface checkAccount your_local_account_name

and kmail will check the mail automagically

Hope this help
