Thank you. Though I believe the indices are located in my ~/Mail directory, not up in the hidden configuration files. (I agree with whomever it was who said it's nuts to put the actual mail itself up among the config files. Apparently it wasn't always that way, in that my mail directory is down among user files because it inherited it from KDE-1.x days. lot of stuff that has been here for 25 years or more.) Strangely, since I complained about it, KMail and ProtonMail/Bridge have been playing nicely together. So it could be that the people at Proton took a look and saw something and fixed it.So for now I'm going to keep my fingers crossed rather than experiment. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
