Re: Seperate 'sets' of mail boxes

Hi,

There is over 700Mb in total using Pegasus. I wouldn't even like to guess how 
many folders there are, possibly more than 500 at least. There is absolutely 
no relationship/bearing that one mail box 'set' has on another 'set', they 
are completely different in their usage and the heirarchy, etc, etc.

It is extremely convenient to split hundreds of folders into a 'set', for 
example

set1 - friends
set2 - business
etc,etc

Also, I have actually seen posts about KMail having problems with large email 
boxes. I don't know if that is true, but many of these folders are 
considerable size, and it is nothing for one folder to contain 4,000 emails.

So, I would prefer to keep the structure seperated, into email box sets.

I can't get it to work though.

It sounds technically possible , if the 'config' parm works, to simply have a 
different config file for each email box 'set'. I would only ever have one 
instance of KMail running.

In effect, I'm simply trying to use 2 features that are already present within 
KMail.
