KMail help

Hello, I'm having a few issues with KMail. One is that my local inbox never has anything in it. I have to check the inbox for the specific account. This is fine I guess but what's the point of my local inbox then? The other issue is that I can't seem to get my gmail pop3 account show up. I set up the account and it says it's checking for mail but the folders don't appear in the folder list. This might be gmail's fault as I tried to set up pop3 access using Konqueror and gmail doesn't really support Konqueror (very annoying of them). Also, is there any way to see messages in kmail in a conversation style like in gmail?

Strange.
Have you enabled periodic checks for it?

Not sure I understand this.
The folder should be there before you create the account, otherwise you can't select it as the inbox when creating the account.

Not sure what this concersation style looks like, but if it refers to threading, you can enable that in the Folder menu.

For my school account, yes. The IMAP account shows up in my folder list and one of the folders is its inbox. The mail in there doesn't go to the inbox under local folders.

I created the account by doing Settings/Configure KMail/Accounts/Add. I'm pretty sure I'm just doing something stupid here.

Thanks, I'll try that :-)

I think an IMAP folder isn't checked regularily, but you can have that when using it with the cache-IMAP account type.

You had me a little confused, because there is also an account type "local mail"

No, that sounds ok.
Create a folder first, then create the account and select the newly created folder as its inbox.
