Hi everyone.
I'm not too happy that neither Debian nor the Ubuntuzilla repository have made Thunderbird 91 (now on 91.0.3) available after almost a month since 91.0 was released. I obviously do not know what could be holding it up.
Does TDE's KMail offer persistent/cached (?) connections like Thunderbird does - with the app open/minimized if an e-mail comes in (IMAP accounts), it's automatically retrieved?
Thanks in advance.
I can tell you that no AFAIK.
I wanted to make a question here too because I didn't see a configuration switch to even make automatic check every several minutes.
There are only options at startup or manually.
In Kmail, when you configure each email account, there you can set "interval email checking" for whatever duration you choose.
Also, you might consider trying out kshowmail-trinity, which is a minimal app that does only a few things, but does them very well. You can set it for interval checking, delete emails from the server, etc. I forget if it works for imap, though.
When I used to get a lot more emails, I would use kshowmail for interval checking and deleting stuff from the server, then download the rest with Kmail. But now I have managed to make myself obscure and mostly forgotten enough that it doesn't matter, so I haven't kept up with the best or most recent tools. But between kmail and kshowmail, you ought to be covered.
