Hello Group, Where is the file for the Kmail filters? Is there a single file that could be backed up so as to not loose filters if you have to move to another machine or whatever?? -- Regards, Richard Saint Clair, Co-Founder Technical Manager Internet Users Society Niue Chairman, Pacific Island Chapter ISOC -------------------------------------------- stclair@niue.nu www.niue.nu Voice (68 3) 4630 Fax (68 3) 4237 Internet Service Provider, Niue Island -------------------------------------------- ISP/C, ISOC, APIA, NCOC, ISOCNZ, PICISOC, ARRL -------------------------------------------- Niue Island South Pacific 169 West 19 South -------------------------------------------- Don't forget, Nuts feed the squirrels.

They seem to be in the .kde/share/config/kmailrc file. Top tip: to find stuff like this, commands such as: find .kde -type f -exec grep -iH filter {} \; ...are your friend. The above does "recursively find all the normal files below the .kde directory, and on each of them, do a grep for the word "filter", case-insenstive, and display the file name along with the matching line in the output."

This is correct, however it is worth noting that Kmail nukes filters if you start it and the directory they refer to doesn't exist; at least that was the case the last time I checked. There were some arguments about that on the Kmail lists a short time ago and I don't know if they ended up changing that behaviour.

These days it's enough to type: grep -iHr filter .kde though the tip above is still useful if you're stuck on an old Linux box, or a commercial Unix where the sysadmin hasn't installed GNU grep :-( -Chris
