Maybe your kmail will avoid > early retirement, eh ;-) I went to define a flter in Kmail; I turned on Seive support. The help explicitly says it does not support imap filtering. For me to use filtering, I have to have a means of configuring it and I don't see how to do that. I'm running Nahant so there's not great likelihood of a new version in the near future. Thuunderbird does filter (it does it itself) well enough to sort mail into diverse folders. It's not in nahant-1 tho. evolution's got the sulks, doesn't start any more. I'm in great shape;-) -- Cheers John
