Kmail, is the mail client of trinity.

==Tips==

*You are forced to also install and configure "tdewalletmanager-trinity" to actually use kmail.

*You can configure tdewalletmanager with out a password, and so that kmail can always start it and use it without a password. You can't avoid using it.

*configure a transport server with a reply address is bugged and doesn't work.

*You can use a specific outgoing account for a specific identity. (settings > identities > modify > advance > special transport)

+== Tips ==
-*configure a transport server with a reply address is bugged and doesn't work.
+* You must install and set up the TDE Wallets subsystem to be able to use KMail, but you can make wallets open automatically without entering a password if you don't care about TDE Wallets.

+* You can use a specific outgoing account for a specific identity. (see <code>Settings > Identities > Modify > Advanced > Special transport</code>).
+== Filters ==
+KMail supports e-mail filters. Filters are automated actions that are performed on a folder when new mail arrives, or manually by the user.
+=== Advanced example: Automatically decrypt and sanitize incoming mail ===
+This is an example how to create a filter in KMail that removes unwanted headers and automatically decrypts incoming mails, so that mail passes through the transport encrypted, but is stored decrypted on the disk.
+. Download [[File:Kmail-decrypt-and-sanitise-mail.gz]] and place it in your <tt>~/bin</tt> folder or any place else suitable for you, extract the archive and make the extracted script executeable.
+<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
+$ wget https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/images/c/c1/Kmail-decrypt-and-sanitise-mail.gz
+$ tar xf Kmail-decrypt-and-sanitise-mail.gz
+$ mv kmail-decrypt-and-sanitise-mail /path/to/destination
+$ chmod a+x /path/to/destination/kmail-decrypt-and-sanitise-mail
+</syntaxhighlight>
+. Open KMail, go to <code>Settings > Configure Filters</code>.
+. Create a new filter, name it as you like and move it to the top of the list.
+. On the "General" tab leave "Filter Criteria" empty.
+. Set "Filter Actions" to "Pipe Through" and set the program path to <tt>/path/to/destination/kmail-decrypt-and-sanitise-mail</tt>.
+. On the "Advanced" tab uncheck "If this filter matches, stop processing here"
+Now all incoming mails get decrypted by default (if a key is present), and some tags (find them on line 45 of the script) are removed (X-UI-Filterresults:, X-GMX-Antivirus:, …).
+You can further modify the script to include other automated actions.
+== Caveats ==
+* KMail does not support OAuth2 yet, which is required by Google and some other e-mail providers. You can try setting up an OAuth2 proxy or use another e-mail client meanwhile.
+* Configuring a transport server with a reply address is bugged and doesn't work.
