Hi all,
This is a basic question, but what is the best way to copy my email
files from one install (9.3) to my new install (10.2). Same machine. Old
install is mounted as same user name mounted at "data1". I have not
used kmail on the new install yet, but did open kmail once, have not set
up users. I see may old mail in
/data1/home/user/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail. I see the same folder in
the new install, with only a few sub-folders. Should I just copy the
whole /mail folder over the new one and be done with it? Or would "cat"
be better? Again, there is no mail in the new folder so I can overwrite
it if need be.
TIA,
Jim Flanagan
