Dear Listas...
I don't know if this is of-topic or not. If so sorry...
I bought a laptop, I now want to move over all my kmail stuff to the laptop.
I've attempted to copy the "/home/jerry/Mail" directory to the laptop but kmail then fails to start. Anybody know how to do this?
Jerry
Is the UID/GID of the copied folder right? Does starting KMail from prompt give you any clues as to what fails? Does KMail start at all? (if you don't copy the old mail) --

Hi,
- backup data (:-)) - copy $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail/ - copy $HOME/.kde/share/config/kmailrc - copy MAIL
Some nice guy helped me do this some time ago. You may try searching teh suse-kde news group. Search for "Kmail filters"
Thanks, that did it... just incase some does a search for the same problem here is what I did: On laptop, as user jerry: rm -R /home/jerry/Mail rm -R /home/jerry/.kde/share/apps/kmail rm /home/.kde/share/config/kmail* scp -r jerry@10.0.0.197:/home/jerry/.kde/share/apps/kmail .kde/share/apps/ scp jerry@10.0.0.197:/home/jerry/.kde/share/config/kmail* .kde/share/config/ scp -r jerry@10.0.0.197:/home/jerry/Mail ./ Started Kmail, everything worked... Thanks to all who helped out... Jerry P.S. I guess I'll have to subscribe to suse_kde mailling list also...
