KMail and its UI freezes while fetching/sorting mail

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

This has about worn me out, to the extent that I'm looking for another 
email agent that can fetch from the local /var/spool/mail/user 
spoolfile fetchmail uses, run it thru SA, and deposit it for reading in 
the /root/Mail directory 100% compatible with the kmail way of doing 
things.

Thunderbird can't, sylpheed can't that I can figure out.  Are there any 
other email agents with as friendly a gui as kmail but do all the 
housekeeping 100% in the background?

Alternatively, is there a way to make fetchmail do the SA invocation, 
leaving the sorting to kmail?  That would help considerably.

It seems to me there really should be something out there thats usable 
for someone used to kmail, or could, it it uses a different folder 
mechanism, import the kmail folders when the transition is done.

Cheers, Gene
People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
