Re: Seperate 'sets' of mail boxes

Hi,

do you actually read my replies? It is very confusing that you reply 
only to your own messages. :-)

I have no idea. Until now I didn't even know that there was a --config 
command line option. :-)

If you want to give it a try, then I suggest you try it with a test user 
account to protect your existing mail boxes.

Please note that apart from kmailrc KMail uses another configuration 
file, emailidentities. This might or might not be a problem since this 
configuration file would be shared. In particular, you'd always have 
all identities available regardless of the used kmailrc.

I'm really interested to know whether this actually works. So please 
report back.


Regards,
Ingo
