I am trying to (1) Copy the Mail folder in my home directory to an external harddrive (for a backup copy), and (2) export the KMail folder to another Mail program for another backup.
I do not know find anything the Help file that comes with KMail about exporting folders from KMail to another Mail program.I will gratefully appreciate an help from anyone has any information about exporting and would help me.
Also, although I coped the Mail folder from my home directory to an external harddrive using copy -R, the copy on the hard drive seems to have no information, excepting the name of the directories and some . files. Please help in understanding this. Your help will be appreciated.
