I'm not sure if this is a good idea -
there is e.g. kde-linux around where users discuss all kinds of
kde-apps including kmail etc., and this list has not so much traffic.
so why further divide the audience into one more list with a subtopic ?

The list is taking over for the kmail list which was getting both user and developer mails. The kmail list is now replaced with kmail-devel and the kpim list will receive the user emails.

I claim that a mailing list which has a less general topic than "All of KDE" will attract more people who are willing to help. For example most KDE PIM developers are already subscribed to kdepim-users and will help with answering KDE PIM related questions. Most of those developers are not subscribed to the general KDE user mailing list (for one or the other reason). I browsed the KDE user mailing lists (kde, kde-linux and kde-de) for a few months, but in the end it did simply cost too much time to filter out all the irrelevant questions that I couldn't or didn't want to answer, so that I had to stop reading those mailing lists. With kdepim-users I only have to browse one mailing list and a higher percentage of the questions will be KMail-related.

... is wether IMAP filtering is supposed to already work in beta 2? I want to move messages into IMAP folders with filters, but I can seemingly can only choose local ones.

I remember reading about it in digest, anyone know the status?

Yours, Kay

why should everything be built into kmail, making it fat and bloated ?
just use what is already there -
fetchmail/procmail !

With normal (online) IMAP: Neither client-side filtering nor IMAP folders as target for filters will be in KDE 3.2.

With the new disconnected (offline) IMAP: All incoming mail in your INBOX (of the disc. IMAP account) will be filtered by KMail. I currently can't check whether it's possible to select folders on the disc. IMAP account as target for filters.
