To do software development, I'm setting up a separate account on my desktop machine
(to
minimize distractions), but I'd like read-only access to some of the folders (e.g.
this
mailing list) in my primary mail account. From what I've read, normally that would
entail forwarding the mail through a mail system via another mail account; but since both
users are on the same machine, can I just share the physical mail folders via symbolic
links?

I find the configuration panel intuitive - never had to read about how to
configure knode.

I don't know - I find it also messy, but I guess it has low priority on the
dev end.

because you do not worry about mails anymore - just subscribe to the trinity
user group and forget the emails.
(I mean - of course you have to setup the mail for sending messages, but IMO
it is far better)

Suggestion: Something in the Wiki about accessing mailing lists via newsgroup would be
helpful.

I read usenet and other newsservers with slrn:
slrn -C- -n --nntp -h news.gmane.io -f News/.gmanenewsrc -i News/gmane.rc
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The news groups for Trinty there
are
gmane.comp.desktop.trinity.devel
gmane.comp.desktop.trinity.user

subscribing usually involves e-mail confirmation to the e-mail you
configured for this news server
It takes some time to precess all of this and start working (e-mail based)
don't give up

I just discovered a possible alternate solution in the TDE Administration Guide:
"Chapter
5. Sharing data with Kontact via imap" which explains how to use cyrus imap as a

my
primary mail.com service, though.
