How to transfer distribution lists in kmail
I am installing SuSE 9.0 professional on a new computer, and I want to keep all of my addresses and distribution lists. i am running kde 3.2 and Kmail as part of contact. In the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/ I find the files std.vcf plus std.vcf_1 through std_vcf_6. Also present is the text file distlists. Copying all these files to the corresponding directory in the new installation gives me all the email addresses, but it does not give me the distribution lists. I assume the file distlists is related to the distribution lists, but i can't seem to figure out how. Any ideas? Mike -- Michael A.

Try it with a soft link to your old ~/.kde/share/config/kaddressbookrc + the equivalent links to the kmail configuration in the same file. Or, of course, copy them into your new file. Christopher Winkler Berlin

Maybe you can use kaddressbook's import function to solve the problem. Paul Abrahams
