I tried importing but the import menu allows you to import from evolution and other MTAs but not a previous version of Kmail. Could you please suggest a blow by blow howto? Moving e-mail safely from one version to another is important to me. Many thanks.
If the folder is mbox type, it is prety simple: just copy over the mbox file, with cp, to where Kmail can see it. No need to "import". I have dozens of folders, inherited from suse 5.3, 6.x, 7,x, 8.x, 9.1 and finally, to 9.3. All seen. I simply tell kmail my folders are in ~/Mail/, and start using them. I have never used "import". - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCxoHJtTMYHG2NR9URAj9uAJ9ehnrsuoyEN3PG9R3gqeCU0n7hXwCdHaRj KmRcJjHJw6ejm64i0dcmIS4= =8CoL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
