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.

I do the exact same thing.
IRC, kshowmail can be used with imap.
It's a great server side filter. Been using it for years.
