Prerequisites - I am using postfix and procmail for mail delivery. Actually, I have a fetchmail type client that funnels incoming mail through procmail. HOWTO implement - step1 * If not already done, add the line mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail to /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart postfix. step2 * If ~/.procmailrc doesn't exist, create this file with the following contents. LOGFILE= VERBOSE=yes :0 : /.local/share/Linux-mail/ !!! And don't forget the '/' after 'Linux-mail' !!! step3 * send a test mail to your account, procmail will create new, cur and tmp sub directories in /.local/share/Linux-mail/ as needed. step4 * Open kmail2, Settings->Konfigure kmail->Accounts->receiving and add a new akonadi resource of type maildir, pointing to /.local/share/Linux-mail step5 * wait some time for akonadi and kmail2 to recognize this new resource. You will find your new mail right there - and NO more "changed by another program" alerts. Have fun !
