In conclusion to this (from my perspective) - it seems almost impossible to get old mail back. If you were using KMail since long time ago, update to KMail2, for all practical purposes, means old email will be lost.
I have gotten some important folders back by copying them to a newly created directory, creating a mixed resource for each folder and importing it one by one. Overall the process was so complicated and lenghty, and experimental (many man days), I cannot repeat all steps, one I remember was old indexes had to be deleted.
Maybe is a little too late for Milan, but I want to give "hope" to others that may feel the same, including me this week when I update from 11.2 to 12.1. I had the same migrations errors as others and at first I was very frustrated. But little but little, resolving Nepomuk errors starting it from the commad line I was able to first start Kmail, then import the messages, the copy them to the final folders and up and running. But I still have problems with filters. When I active a filter messages get duplicated. Not when I execute the filter manually. I can live without automatic filters for a time. In short I'm very glad with this version. Just give it time to grow on you. And don't give up! Your old email will not be lost! :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
