Hi .. I'm operating on mandrake 9.1 and using k-mail . I would like to configure two identities in k mail . Can anyone provide a link on how to or some words ?

Thanks

Sure
.[list=1][*]Open KMail and goto Settings>Configure KMail>Identity and choose New.[*]In the dialog box that appears enter name and click the radio button for leave blank fields[*]Click OK[*]The Name,Organization and Address fields should be blank now so enter your info[/list=1]
That should do it.

Oki got that far ,now If im logged incan my wife check her mail and if so how do you switch identities.

[lynch]

Click the little drop-down arrow next to the in-box tray icon;it should give you a menu of idenitities.

I'm sorry linch for asking so many easy questions but there doesn,t seem to be any inbox icon or drop down menu.

Look at the row of icons below the menu bar at the top.The 4th icon from the left looks like a tray with an arrow pointing down-dont click that arrow-the one I'm talking about is a small black arrow at the bottom right of the icon.

Well lynch its not for lack of trying but no sucess yet. I clicked on settings , configure kmail and add another to the list but that user for some reason when i open up seems to be in my mail account. Ps i'm not sure how to print screen as in windows to post an image for you to see.

I'm not sure why this isnt working for you.I just set up KMail to be sure I gave you the right instructions(I use Mozilla Mail) and it works like a charm.I put 2 different accounts in there.Recheck the identities to be sure you entered seperate email accounts.
To take a screenshot you can open a terminal and type:
import -window root screen.jpg
That takes an exact shot of whatever is on your screen.You can name the *.jpg anything you want.

Ok lynch i've got dual identities in kmail now. I guess the confusion comes in because of the fact that im used to outlook express where when you switch identities you switch folders as well. Its not a very secure way to operate : Im not in favor of having others able to view my mail.
