+<question><para>Why are my filters not applied to incoming messages of &imap; accounts?</para></question>
+<answer>
+<para>Normal &imap; mode does not support filtering, but the new 
+disconnected &imap; account type does. You could try to use server-side
+filtering (ask your admin for how to install filters on the server and in
+which format), since &imap; is all about managing your email <emphasis>on the server</emphasis>.
+Unfortunately, although there exists a mail filter language (Sieve, defined
+in RFC3028), there is no standardized access protocol for installing or
+editing server-side Sieve scripts. If such a protocol becomes available in
+the future, &kmail; will most probably include support for it.</para>

+<question><para>Using <application>PGP</application> or <application>GnuPG</application>
+is very slow or it blocks &kmail;.</para></question>
+<answer>
+<para>&kmail; accesses <application>PGP</application>/<application>GnuPG</application> 
+synchronously, &ie; it blocks while <application>PGP</application>/<application>GnuPG</application> 
+works. This means that you might want to disable automatic retrieval 
+of unknown keys from a keyserver to make &kmail; look more responsive.
+If you are using <application>GnuPG</application> 1.0.7 (or better) or upgraded from an earlier 
+version, then make sure to run <command>gpg <option>--rebuild-keydb-caches</option></command> 
+once and <command>gpg <option>--check-trustdb</option></command> after every import or refresh. 
+Both will speed up <application>GnuPG</application> immensely.</para>

+<qandaentry id="faq-index-regeneration">
+<question><para>Why did &kmail; regenerate the index of a folder?</para></question>
+<answer>
+<para>&kmail; regenerates the index of a folder whenever the index appears to be
+out of date, &ie; whenever the contents of a folder are newer than the
+index. &kmail; regenerates the index in this case in order to prevent
+the loss or corruption of messages. Unfortunately, currently-deleted
+messages might reappear and message flags (like important, etc.) might
+be lost when the index is regenerated.</para>
+<para>An outdated index can have several causes; the two most important causes
+are:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>Some other program modified the contents of the folder: if you want
+to use &kmail; together with procmail then please read <link

+<listitem><para>If your mail folder (usually <filename class="directory">$<envar>KDEHOME</envar>/share/apps/kmail/</filename> or <filename class="directory">~/Mail</filename>)
+is on a volume which is mounted via NFS and if the clock of the NFS server is ahead of the
+clock of your computer then the NFS server sometimes reports a wrong
+file date for the index file. In this case &kmail; assumes that the index
+is outdated although in reality it is not. To fix this problem
+you (or your system administrator) have to make sure that the clock of
+the NFS server and the clock of your computer are always in sync. One
+way to achieve this is the use of the ntp daemon.</para></listitem>

+<question><para>I cannot add addresses to my address book after upgrading to KDE 3.x.</para></question>
+<answer>
+<para>You probably copied your old <filename>kmailrc</filename> file manually. That is not
+necessary, there is a script that will do such things when you run KDE 3.x
+for the first time. To fix the problem, remove the complete <quote>[AddressBook]</quote>
+group and the addressbook option in group <quote>[General]</quote> in your 
+<filename>kmailrc</filename> file; however, chances are you will also encounter other problems

+message to the drafts folder, double click on it in order to open
+it in the composer, remove the attachments, save the message again to the
+drafts folder, move it back to its folder. The disadvantage of
+this workaround is that the date will be changed to the current date.

+<question><para>Why does &kmail; get slow / stop working when I try to
+send big attachments?</para></question>
+<answer>
+<!-- fixme: update for 3.2 -->
+<para>&kmail; is known to have problems with large attachments. We are working
+on a solution for this problem for &kde; 3.2 but currently it temporarily consumes
+virtual memory of about 10-15 times the size of the attachment. That
+means that if you attach a 2MB file &kmail; might temporarily need about
+20-30 MB of virtual memory (= RAM + swap space). If you do not have
+enough virtual memory this will lead to problems.</para>

+<question><para>My signature has two dashes above it. What's up?</para></question>
+<answer>
+<para>
+Separating the signature from the message body with two dashes and a space
+on a single line is common usage. These symbols permit mail clients who recognize 
+them to trim the signatures from a reply. If your signature does not already have 
+this separator, &kmail; will automatically add it.</para>

+<answer><para>You can only run one instance of &kmail; at once. We also recommend
+to stick to a certain version and not switch back and forth between different versions.
+Downgrading to an older version will probably cause problems, &eg; because the index file

+<answer><para>You can get a list of functions by using this command in a shell:
+<userinput><command>dcop</command> 
+<option>kmail  KMailIface</option></userinput>. Some documentation is also
+available in <filename>kdenetwork/kmail/kmailIface.h</filename> and

+<question><para>When I reply to a message, only a part of the message is quoted. How come?</para></question>
+<answer><para>This can happen when the message contains two dashes and a space on a single line. This is seen as the start of the signature. The remaining part of the message will not be quoted, because when you reply to a message KMail strips the signature.</para></answer>

+<question><para>I am only using &imap;, can I get rid of those Local Folders in 
+the folder list or at least keep them collapsed all the time?</para></question>
+<answer><para>No you can not get rid of them. The local folders function as a 
+fallback when the &imap; server is unreachable. Although you only use &imap;, 
+&kmail; uses the outbox for sending the messages. If we hide all local folders 
+you won't be able to fix messages in the outbox which can not be send for some 
+reason. But it is possible to keep the local folders collapsed. What 
+you have to do is go to <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>
+Configure &kmail;...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and go to the section Misc, 
+there you can setup the folder on startup. If you change that to a folder on 
+the &imap; account, the Local Folders will stay collapsed when &kmail; starts.

+	  The global reversal of encryption is considered extremely

+	  should be implemented using semantic solutions (&eg; by
