kshowmail missing
Last modified: 2005-09-13 06:50:09 UTC
kshowmail is perfect for filtering out spam, especially for slow / non-ADSL connections. It downloads the mail headers only, saving time and bandwidth. The rpm of 3.1.1-pre3 which I did build before for 9.3 64 bit is working fine on 10 though. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kshowmail "KShowmail is a POP3 mail checker for the KDE with these features: show number, size and more information about mails on pop3 servers in a list view, show the mail headers or complete mails, delete unwanted mail from server by configurable filters."
did you ever use kmail? imho this is wontfix as it duplicates existing functionality.
in any case: we do not have the resources to do more KDE apps - but you're welcome to join openSUSE and supply your own packages.
to comment #1: yes, I use kmail, every day, almost 24 h per day ;-) Please be aware that as a user of _both_ kmail and kshowmail I can see that kmail is including more and more functionality of kshowmail, but I still go through the inconvenience of setting up and using _both_ apps. Even if that means recompiling one of them. Simply because the efficiency and ease of use of getting unwanted spam out, especially the one which does not let itself categorize easily with rules, is still much higher with kshowmail. Especially when you are having a slow Internet connection. Plus it gives a good overview of the new mail, before it is distributed into different kmail folders, out of sight... So yes, functionality does overlap, but not duplicate, at least not yet, unfortunately. to comment #2: Ok, I'll look at that.
I don't see how thats different to the POP filters kmail provides..
