kmail: How do I seperate accounts & use arrow keys

HI I apologize if this is well documented somewhere else.
I am trying migrating to kmail from seamonkey. I have 2 email accounts lets say A and B. I like how they are displayed in seamonkey. account "A" has a inbox, sent, trash, etc and so does account "B". In kmail I did not get separate folders for each account. So I set up the 2nd set manually. It seems awkward. All the incoming mail still goes to the old default inbox. I noticed there were options for assigning the sent and drafts under settings> configure kamil > identity's > modify> advanced> "edit identity" for assigning the sent and drafts. However I would like separate inbox, separate trash, outbox, etc.

Secondly I am used to scrooling through mail with the up down arrow keys this apparently is not the default on my mail messages list view. How do I enable?

Thanks

you can set the keybinding with [settings ->configure keybindings]

default for scrolling through your mail is left/right arrow key

Seprate accounts

Hello,

I run Kmail with 3 different accounts and each have their own inbox and sent mail folders.

As you found the sent mail folders are assigned in Identities->edit->advanced. The inbox is assigned in the Account->edit destination folder pull down. It's been awhile since I set this up, so I don't remember the details, but I believe you need to create the folders and hierarchy first then select them in the dialog boxes.
I have a single trash and drafts folder, but there is a pull down for drafts in the identities dialog. I do not know of any way to select a separate trash, but 3 out of 4 isn't bad :-)

Thanks all. This was my first post here I am very impressed with how helpful people are here. Been using KDE on Gentoo for years but never have any problems or questions before.
