That would no doubt work except only user 1000 can access the sudo stuff in 
case I need to fix something.  Potential PIMA.

Right now I am trying to figure out how to change its default mailbox so 
its not looking at the kmail ~/Mail tree, where of course it cannot 
actually see any of the 5Gb of mail in that tree.  So I want to start a new 
tree, named mail-claws perhaps?

But I've not found where that is configured yet.

Thanks Michael.

Cheers, Gene
