Mail in the Oberon subsystem of A2 allows receipt by POP3 and 
deletion after receipt.  These settings in Oberon.Text.


But, since pop3 and imap in my isp's mail server, dovecot, are the same 

database content,  they do not allow a "pop3" client to delete a fetched msg.
Fetchmail, running in imap mode IS allowed to delete once fetched. So my mail
on their server has a 2 minute lifetime since fetchmail scans it every 2 minutes.
Very little to sell the spammers/scammers that way. 



I just sent my first successful msg using kmail, I asked the kmail smtp agent
to query again and it changed the encodeing to STARTTLS, and it worked,
So I assume <-(there's that word again), that it can now send.


I can understand their reasoning so I've not argued with them.


But no one has said, when I asked, if this new kmail5 honors or ignores
the "been read" marker of a fetchmail pulled msg that HAS been read by 

firefox. And I've not found a place in the config menu to countermand
that if that is the case, I'd have to put a 'Mark as unread' command in each 

of about 45 sort filters I have yet to compose.   I pull the read ones too, and 

the totals go up, but none of the new pulls are new/unread when kmail sees them.



I think I have the printer working albeit at a very lethargic snails pace so I
need to print the old kmailrc so I can reinvent a new one. The old version was
kmail 1.9 from TDE, so I haven't placed it in service.



POPMode = "POP3"	{* POP3 or APOP *}
LeaveOnServer = No

My MO: retrieve all messages less than 2 MB into the mbox file on a 
local SD card.  When I move to another machine, the SD goes along.  
Messages >= 2 MB are accessed by the Web.  =8~|



I'm not that portable at my 87 years. My truck gets poor mileage, and I'm 

alone now, my wife is in a nice vase on her piano for the last year (COPD),  

so runs for eats and scripts is about it, once a week maybe.


> Love to, phone number please?

Hmm.  Aim to deal locally where customer service exists.



Customer service?  Whuzzat?

A debian-printing list would be legitimate and 
should tolerate cups related discussion.


It should, does it exist?

Thank you Peter

Gene, in case you didn't catch this earlier, posting again with 
reference corrected. 

The current problem might be solved.  If another surfaces in the 
future, debian-printing might be more efficient than debian-user.
