Each day I read my emails.  If they gave information I need to remember, I 
move them to the name of the person who sent them.  I keep a folder on just 
about everyone who has helped me.  I delete those that don't contain things I 
must remember.  Sometimes an email has been placed in a folder and I can't 
remember where it is and have to read them all to find what I need.  I haven't 
yet figured out a way to find the email by its content.  They are all filed by 
the person who is helping me's name.  I was told not to make a folder by 
topic, because it would corrupt the kmail application.  I don't understand the 
why, because it would make things easier if I could save by topic, but I 
follow instructions as best I am able.

I believe I understand these recent instructions better, but I sure could use 
some advice how to save an email based upon its content that will not corrupt 
kmail.  For instance if the problem was a PPA problem or whatever, a folder 
that said PPA could contain all the things I learn about PPA.  I wish I could 
save that way, it would bring me to specific topics fast, and I could notice 
the date posted and find the one I need faster.
