The problem involves GNUs as well, which is why Iļæ½m cross-posting this to gnu.emacs.gnus As it stands, GNUs uses the ~/Mail directory, and when Kmail starts up, it sees that directory and assumes that it contains Kmail files that need to be moved. If I delete the ~/Mail directory, Kmail is happy, but then GNUs is very unhappy. Can anyone suggest a solution that would let these two clients co-exist peacefullly, without Kmail constantly trying to move files from ~/Mail into ~/.Mail?
