Adding Mail to Kmail mailboxes
I use Kmail and Suse 10.0. I moved some mail from my old kmailbox to my new kmailbox (/home/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/cur) on another harddrive. But when I open Kmail I only see the mail I've downloaded to this machine, none of the mail I moved. How do I get kmail to recognize the new mail in the mailbox? Is there some default way to add mail to a kmail mailbox? Thanks, Jerome

If you import the mails using KMails import tool (in the "file" menu) it should work easy... Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com Madagascar special: http://www.sanic.ch

Speaking (tangentially) of import... I mounted a customers old NTFS partition on the SuSE machine and use kmailCvt to suck in a couple gig of Outlook Express mail into Kmail. Imported it all, maintaining the same directory structure and everything. Wow. That is one slick package. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
Hi John, Did you know any package to import the mail, calendar, todos and notes from Outlook. Regards Lívio Cipriano ----- Original Message ----- On Wednesday 23 August 2006 02:52, Daniel Bauer wrote:

i had a similar problem and found no good solution. In hindsight, the following might work: KMail --> Settings --> Configure Kmail --> Accounts Add a new source pointing to your old mail directory. Maybe it'll work, maybe not. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts

If I understand your procedure and question correctly all you'd have to do is make sure KMail is not running, delete _all_ of the 'index' files ( *.index, *.index.ids, *.index.sorted) in your Mail directory, restart KMail and it will rebuild all of its indexes based on what it finds. All your email should then be available. Stan
