Work has got some strange setups, what I generally have to do in KMail is put 
my settings in then hit the "Check what server supports" button then after a 
second or two press apply and everything works. Don't know how, don't know 
why but it works. PS and at home as well.

Of course there is no 'check' option with TBird/Mobility :(

LoL I've seen that response on every list I am or have been a member of even 
this one. I used to think it was a sort of 'close ranks' type of thing "We 
would love more people to get into Linux, hang on this is a select group we 
don't want outsiders being as smart as us!" I realise thats not true now 
actually sometimes I think its a cover story for "We ain't got a clue how to 
fix it but we don't want to look stupid".

Groan, here we go another punter with 'Champane tastes and Lemonade pockets' 
oh 'and the arse out their trousers'

Only kidding you won't be the first on the list I've looked after and I doubt 
you'll be the last. Email me off list with what you want and I'll get you 
some prices.

I'm pretty sure KMail sets them against the Local folder ie inbox so all the 
filters regardless of email account are set against incoming mail.
