TBH, I don't know of any client that requests a password so that it can delete the mails.

Ok, so, in essence, you want to make other people have only read-only access to the mails?

If so, the following should be sufficient - create a mail folder in a way that your user has rw permissions, and that some group has only read permissions.

Add the users you want to share the mails with to that group, and set their mail clients to look in that folder for mail.

--

Mind that this is not the usual way of sharing - more common way would be to automatically forward mail to all accounts that need it... so, if somebody deletes/changes anything, the only affected account would be theirs.

Or maybe using an IMAP server and IMAP access control lists that prohibit users without sufficient rights to delete mails.

ok this is good idea for permission, but there is a explian or tutorials for config?
but there is a pluging for "password for delete an email..."?

my server is old there are not service imap...there is only pop3 ok?

I don't know of a tutorial with that, but all permissions related tutorials could be useful. For deletion, you'd have to log in as your user (or su/sudo).

As for the imap, you could probably set one on your computer, set it up so that it checks up the mail from your main pop3 server or something like that (haven't done anything similar)

ok i try for permission, but new user and limit permission but kmail limit for user ? where i can config for permission to kmail or folder? you can show me little tutorial ok?

So, you can do something like this (as root):

addgroup kmailreaders
adduser username kmailreaders

chown adminusername:kmailreaders -Rv /path/to/mail/folder
chmod g+r-w -Rv /path/to/mail/folder


if addgroup or adduser don't exist on your system, use your distro's tools for user management.

Then you configure kmail to use that dir (I don't know where exactly it is located in the config dialogue, but it shouldn't be hard to find)

hello

i did done: addgroup "kmail-lettura" from yast (opensuse 11.3)
but kmail (user is manu)i did get accounts email in one kmail that is works but i see the kmail save all email in path: /home/username/.kde4/share/apps/kmail ... i wanted to move folder of kmail to /iss/kmail but where i can change config for move folder to olther place? because pc is "server-a", all emails to kmail is in server-a, and all my colleague use an olter pc (PC-MAIL), i use share with NFS, for this i wanted use it for secury.

i repeat to ask:

-1 how i can config to move folder main of kmail to /iss/kmail (default kmail is /home/username/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/ect/ect)?

-2 PC-MAIL can read to SERVER-A with NFS (it's works) but PC-MAIL can send email to SERVER-A (add email for sended) ? maybe i add addgroup "kmail-sended" but kmail from SERVER-A can work this idea?

-3 this stuffs are hard to config.. but best solve is plug-ing for kmail "password for delete" but now there isnt a plug ins but i do same this stuffs hard it's experience ok?
thank you so much for respond!!!!

The location is configured through an entry in KMail's configuration file "kmailrc".

Section [General], key "folders"

You want it to look like this

Code: Select all

[General]
folders=/iss/kmail


Of course while KMail is not running!

Or run this (again while KMail is not running)

Code: Select all

kwriteconfig --file kmailrc --group General --key folders "/iss/kmail"


Cheers,

[General]
folders=/iss/kmail

i'm done that file "kmailrc" it's goal!! kmail open file from /iss/kmail it's works !!!i'm glad! this is not finish my job for server and pc-my colleague ok? i will write the my job is finish so this topic will be "resolved!
