[tde-users] Outlook woes

I don't like Outlook, unfortunately that's what my school uses. For now I use Prospect Mail to acces this mail (and it does work correctly, although the interface is terrible - seems to be a clone of Outlook's). My global problem is that when they send a mail to my outlook address, I don't know it. I had found a nice way to live with it, by redirecting (forwarding) the mail from Outlook to kmail (I still have to use Prospect Mail to send an answer because since they ativated two factor authentication Outlook's smtp refuses me). Now, for some reason I cannot fathom, they have blocked redirection. Getting mail from Outlook from kmail fails (I guess because of two factor authentication). I have not been able to imagine a way to make Prospect Mail tell me that I received mail (and anyway it's not running all the time). I wanted to try Mailspring, but it wants to store my credentials in a keyring, and although I have both gnome-keyring and libsecret installed (courtesy of MX-Linux I suppose), Mailspring does not find them (and mailspring --password-store= does not work, either with libsecret, gnome-keyring or tdewalletmanager-trinity). So, as several of you recently praised the help offered by this mailing list, maybe I am in luck and one of you has some advice to offer on the subject? Would it be possible to start Prospect mail (cron job?) and get some information about new incomming mails? Thierry
