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.
Just copying the directory (or folder) should do it.
That's right, just copy the whole $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail directory . To copy your settings and filters, take $HOME/.kde/share/config/kmailrc too.
