I am running openSuSE v10.3, and want to install v11.1 on a separate drive. I will want to carry over, among other things, the mail folders, the settings, and the filters from KMail to the new OS, but I do not find a way to export these things from the present mailer, nor for that matter, to import them. What am I overlooking?
I should mention that I am considering using KDE4 with the new v11.1 (not without some trepidation, after reading some of the recent traffic on this forum). I'd be open to any comments on this subject.
In my experience, KMail is somewhat labor intensive transfer. Mails as content is very easy to move. Just move folders in location where KMail expecting them. $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail/ pop accounts dimap is for disconnected imap search is for Find Messages function Filters is next that is easy to move. There are options Import and Export in Settings > Configure Filters . They work fine in any way I tried them, like selective Import of few filters. Settings is what gave me grief even from KDE3 to KDE3 versions. They are in $HOME/.kde4/share/config/kmailrc I would loose some of advanced settings every time I moved configuration file to new installation. P.S. I still have to move stuff to new disk that is KDE4 only installation. I'll put experience in this thread. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
