在Kontact 计划提供了 Knode应用程序，它可以用来读取邮件列表完全分离你的普通邮件。

用 KNode 阅读邮件

您可以在你的应用程序启动器通过搜索找到KNode。如果你还没有安装，您可能需要从您的发行版的套件包安装它。

KNode开启后，设定使用的帐户标签，并单击新增以添加一个新的新闻组服务器。

KNode 是一个真正的Usenet新闻阅读器。Usenet新闻是世界上最早的形式在因特网上交流。Gmane 是一个提供订阅服务数以百计的公共邮件列表的网站，以及提供结果给任何想要使用它的人。通过使用Node和Gmane，我们可以阅读和回复Gmane上的任何的邮件列表。设定KNode使用服务器news.gmane.org 和端口 119。同样重要的是将您的姓名和电子邮件地址设定在身份卷标。通过输入您的电子邮件地址Gmane将允许您透过他们的服务器发送邮件。

下一步，KNode选择新的Gmane项目并选取'订阅新闻组'。让它取得Gmane新闻组清单。新闻组在Usenet是相等于邮件列表。

You can now search for and subscribe to hundreds of mailing lists on Gmane, including lists related to KDE software, GNOME, numerous distributions, as well as non-technical lists like backpacking and cycling.

用KNode回复邮件

到目前为止，我们只设定KNode阅读邮件列表。要回复邮件并创建自己的电子邮件行程，我们需要设定发送邮件。

Go to the Accounts tab again, and this time select Mail Server (SMTP) and click Add. Enter your outgoing email information. If you have already configured KMail for outgoing mail, this should contain the same details. Many people use a separate email address for mailing list traffic to cut down on spam.

Subscribing to mailing lists

Before sending a message to the mailing list, you may need to subscribe to the list. Many mailing lists block emails from email addresses which are not subscribed to the list. For example, to subscribe to the kde-users mailing list (kde@mail.kde.org), find the listinfo page on the KDE software users' mailing list page. After you subscribe to the list and reply to the confirmation email, you're nearly ready to start posting to the mailing list. Go to your options page for the mailing list and turn off mail delivery (look for a link on emails that contain the word "mailman", which is the most common list server - you need to scroll right down the page to find the button "Unsubscribe or edit options".). As you are reading the mailing list through KNode+Gmane, you don't need to have the mail also delivered to your email account.

When you first send a message to a mailing list through KNode, you will recieve a confirmation request email from Gmane. You only have to reply to that once. All subsequent messages sent through KNode will be sent immediately for a complete mailing list experience. If you do not receive an email from Gmane the first time you send a message to a list, make sure you have correctly set your email address in the identity tab when configuring KNode to use Gmane.

Other tips

If you want to use KNode with lists that are not covered by Gmane, you can ask Gmane to subscribe to the list here.

If you are subscribed to private mailing lists, but still want to use KNode to read and write to them, it is possible to install a local leafnode server for that purpose.

Developers, take note

If you are a developer interested in Qt, you may find that Gmane does not offer qt mailing lists like qt-interest. Instead a separate server is accessible at nntp.trolltech.com and port 119.

Writing to the list through the nntp server requires activation. See http://qt.nokia.com/newsapply for more.
