Hello list, I have two machines running SuSE 9.1. On one machine (the old one) I have my current email accounts set up in KMail. I would like to copy the complete setup for KMail from my old machine to my new machine; including profiles, filters, emails and folder setup. Can I ;
1. Copy the .kmailrc conf file from the old machine over the top of the KMail configuration file on the new machine (all profile details will be the same).
Yes. (It's ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc, BTW).
2. Create the new folders in KMail (on the new machine) and then copy the email files using cp and preserving timestamps and permissions.
It would be a lot easier to just tar up the mail directory (I believe KMail uses ~/Mail by default), copy the tarball over and untar on the new machine. This will preserve everything you want preserved.
Thanks to everyone who replied! Cheers Al - -- Public Key to be found at www.keyserver.net.
