Has anyone had any luck importing their KMail messages into Mozilla? When I try, via the Tools->Import of Moz Mail, all I get is an option for importing Netscape Communicator mail. I am wanting to see if I can do this successfully before downloading Moz 1.3. If I can't get my mail into Moz, there is not much need for me to upgrade at this time. Any help will be appreciated. TIA -- D.C.

Just cp ~/Mail/inbox >>~/.mozilla/..... ..../Mail/Local Folders/Inbox Substitute the first directory/inbox for your KMail inbox and make sure that the second directory is where Mozilla puts your new Inbox. The index files will be recreated/corrected when you [re]start Mozilla Mail. (I am not sure of the location of the mozilla mail directory as I have not used mozilla for mail for several years {mutt 1.3.x}). -- Patrick Shanahan Please avoid TOFU and trim >quotes< http://wahoo.no-ip.org Registered Linux User #207535 icq#173753138 @ http://counter.li.org

Thanks, that worked. It is necessary to recurse into the folder structure to get each subfolder from KMail. I was unable to use cp but cat works great. D.C.

Alternatively, you can simlink the files (one by one, or with an script), and you can use kmail _and_ mozilla anytime. Just don't let mozilla compact your folders. It's on the unofficial suse faq ;-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
I like the your snow show Pat
