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?

why not use knode from both accounts

Because I had no idea that that would be a solution, and have no idea how to set that up.
(Side Note: Why is it that the Trinity Help Center says there's no handbook for some things, but their Help menu entries can find one?)

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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't kNode a news reader? Why would I think that it handles email?

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)

I presume that's done by going to Account => Subscribe to Newsgroups? But a search for 'trinity news group' returns nothing. What newsgroup server provides it?
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

Okay, I have gotten kNode connected to gmane and subscribed to the groups, but when I select 'Get new articles' kNode churns for a while, but nothing appears in the message window.

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

Thanks. Yes, I just figured and I see the mails now.
Cheers, Stefan

tde-users mailing list -- users@trinitydesktop.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@trinitydesktop.org Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskt op.org
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 local server. I'm not sure if it can be made to work in concert with my POP connection to my primary mail.com service, though.
