Just make sure you don't restore them to the original location (which will be the same on the 9.3 Box) then use Kmail's import ability to import them into the existing file structure. This is interesting; would you please expand?
In the past, whenever I have upgraded Suse from one version to another (ie a clean instal of the new version) I have been able to save my /home/myname/Mail file to a floppy and then simply insert it into the new OS and after correcting the ownership everything worked fine. That is until 9.3 when I lost most of my mail folders - some transferred, some didn't. 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. Gervase Chavasse
