Hey everyone. I'm really starting to enjoy Kmail, and I think I'm going to be
using it as my default mail client rather than Mozilla. I have a question
though. I've searched all throughout the configuration options, and I can't
figure out how to make it so that whenever I send messages, they get saved in
the "Sent" directory on my imap server rather than in "Local Folders" ->
"sent" which is where it always goes no matter which email account I'm using.
It does this for me also when I delete messages, placing them in "Local
Folders" -> "trash" rather than in Inbox -> Trash on the remote server. I'd
like to make it place messages on the server instead of on the machine since
I like having everything accessible remotely. Anybody know how I can do
this? It's a huge annoyance. Thanks very much in advance.

James

Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Network -> Receiving tab -> modify your
account, at the bottom you can set your trash folder to be on you IMAP
server.

Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Identities -> modify your account ->
Advanced tab, to change your sent folder.
