Often different Notes users are configured on different Domino servers, so
the
account can't be the same. Anyway the real problem is that Notes stores
lots of
configuration and environment infos into a notes.ini file stored somewhere
into
the user's path.
To be able to switch the user, the KMail application must be able to parse
that
file finding many variables and changing their values. Altougth possible, I
see
it not so feasible into the first step implementation.

Ok, this is my fault. I'll look there then.

I think it will be possible to specify into the transport to use Notes
for a given set of domains only, in order to let KMail using something else
(a
default one) for the others. But I'll investigate better this option when
I'll
start transport details.

Well, at the moment I'll be happy just to setup the system and improve my
KDE
knowledge. Then if there will be interest into the Domino support I'll be
happy
to add folders as well (but I'll really need help for doing that).

Right! I'll do it that way.
