Translations:Kmail/Configuring Kmail/18/en

Apart from the options presented in the configuration dialog, some options can only be set directly in the KMail configuration file or through KIOSK (eg. Input into Konsole). These so called “hidden” configuration options cannot be changed via the normal KMail Settings dialog; they must be made by modifying the configuration file using a text editor or the kwriteconfig program. The configuration file is to be written in the format of [Section Name] and the following lines are the variables and their settings. If you are manually editing the configuration file you will need to add the [Section Name] before adding variables. The kwriteconfig will add the section for you as long as you use the --group switch. The KMail configuration file is called kmail2rc and can be found in your home directory. The location can vary according to your operating system or distribution, but can always be found by running the command kf5-config --path config --locate kmail2rc. For the remainder of this section, assume that the configuration file is located in /path/to/kmailrc.
