jeanmm Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hello, When configuring a new Kmail client in Mandriva 2006, I get a Mandriva welcome message. The problem is : whatever I do to delete the message, it reappears everytime Kmail is restarted. Any suggestion to cancel the message ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 what if you move it to some other folder? I just opened kmail to find there was a message from mandrake in there (9.something period I guess,..), which I could delete, and now it shows nothing in my inbox...

AussieJohn Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 It appears to be a bug. I get exactly the same effect. Once you move the message out of the IN folder, the message is regenerated the next time you launch kmail. It has existed from the very first betas of Mandriva2006 and still has not been fixed and has carried on from kde3.4 through into kde3.5. I just leave it and ignore it. Cheers.

jeanmm Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I've just discovered where theese mails are : in /usr/share/mdk/mail !!!! The files are in html and text, generated by "indexhtml" package. I tried to rename the french files (as I am in France), and at next start Kmail generated english welcome mail as default. I then also renamed english files, and that's the solution ! No more welcome mails !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Thank you jeanmm. I have deleted the html and the text versions in that place and so I have been able to remove the welcome messages from the inbox at last without them returning. You have also pointed me to a new area that I am now in the process of exploring. Thanks again and cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
