Also, wouldn't it be better if offlineimap ran every once in a while instead of only when you start KDE? In this case, setting up cron would be better suited.

i agree.

offlineimap does have a builtin interval-resync functionality, however i find it to be pretty buggy, so personally, i just go the cron route:

*/3 * * * * offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet

(i even call my own script[1] to check if its already running first, but the above way should work too).

At the moment I'm using that built in interval-resync and it's works fine. I never try to use cron. This is my first time I'm using CLI email client. Anyway, thanks for reply. I'll try ln first or cron. I'll see. And will let you know how it works. Need to read some tutorials about cron first. @ Loui Chang What was wrong with my signature? :) Anyway thanks for suggestion. It's only 2 lines now :) -- Best, Jozsef :)
