I've been wondering how to sync kmail on my desktop and laptop(s), and decided in the end to use nfs, exporting my ~/Mail/ directory on the desktop to the laptops. This works fine, except that kmail is unable to get new mail from /var/spool/mail/ as it did on the desktop. [All my email, from various sources, arrives there.] I guess I could export this as well - but is there any other (simple) solution? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
