"How do I import e-mail messages from kmail (Linux)?
"Make a new folder in kmail and name it inboxmbox. You'll see a dialogue in which you can save it as an mbox folder. Copy all posts in your kmail inbox folder to the new inboxmbox folder, then copy or move inboxmbox to the subfolder Mail/Local Folders in your profile folder. When you open Thunderbird you'll see the inboxmbox folder under Local Folders. Copy the messages into your Inbox folder if you like."
I believe the implication is that Firefox (and Mozilla) use mbox format.
But as I read what you wrote its about importing e-mail's from Kmail ??? What I want is the opposite way to Kmail from Mozilla mail. Maybe there's something about that on the url you mentioned.
Yes, but think about what was stated. You can directly access (no import processing required) a KMail mbox-formmatted mail folder (which is a single file, ignoring the index file) from Thunderbird (not Firefox, of course, as I mistakenly stated). All you have to do is put a copy of the KMail mbox file in the directory where Thunderbird keeps mail files.
Oh yes I see it now. I'll of course give it a try.
If Mozilla mail can directly access a KMail mail folder, there's a reasonable chance the reverse is true, too. But keep in mind that it does not follow strongly that this is possible, because there could be more flexibility regarding particular details of mailbox file formatting in one application's code than the other's.
Yes quite right. Thanks once more :-) -- Erik Jakobsen
