Didn't I just answer this? The address book is in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kabc kmail files are $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail and $HOME/.kde/share/config/kmail*

sorry about that. I hadn't read anything on this subject because I cared about it only today.
The address book is in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kabc kmail files are $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail and $HOME/.kde/share/config/kmail*
Thanks dj tuchler

This question keeps popping up from time to time.. Maybe time for an export facility for KMail to export addressbook, filter settings and config?? For the time you want to move your KMail to another or reinstall a system... -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't this question in the kmail FAQ? Hmmm, let's see... <Alt>-<F2> http://kmail.kde.org/ Click 'FAQ' *** 6.4. Where does KMail save my settings and my mail? And the Kmail FAQ is part of the Kmail handbook. This is also the case with the location of the Kaddressbook data: It is in the KAddressbook handbook. But who reads manuals or handbooks, or even FAQ's? Nobody. That's why the same questions come up over and over again. ;P Cheers, Leen

I know it's in the FAQ. What i meant was a utility to easily export the stuff WITHOUT having to hunt for the files by your self. -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------

me... well, except I stopped reading FAQs when I realized they all said pretty much the same things w/ minor differences.. <wry smile>
Is that allowed? ;-)
Should be, isn't it part of the community ownership of the end product?? I get to look at everything... Now, whether I can do anything about it or w/ it is another subject entirely.. Damn, I just realized I should have told Novel to ship my new Suse fedex. "Brown" (ups) doesn't deliver on Saturdays. -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit

You must have read so many FAQ's that you can dream them. ;) Cheers, Leen

Gee, I thought Togan had it on his pages as well... but now I'm not so sure. I don't think I've seen any posts by him in a while... Togan, if you're still here and the site is still functioning, wave or something, I can't see where you are in all the crowd of folks that visit this list these days... OT: Seems to me it wasn't so long ago we knew everyone on the list, or one might say nearlly all of the 'regular posters'. Now, phiew, there are 105.2MB in my Suse directory ( in the email program...) guess it's time to tar /Suse up again and start a new /Suse I was hoping to out that off til I do the new install. -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit

Hmm, better create a Meta-FAQ, for questions like: Q: "Where is the KMail FAQ?", A: "It's part of the KMail handbook.". Cheers, Leen

Man, a few weeks ago I was working on developing content for a SCORM-compliant LMS (argh), and in reading the docs I was a bit dismayed to find a description of metadata and meta-metadata, but no meta-meta-metadata. --Danny, pretty sure that the Meta-FAQ is located somewhere below http://www.google.com/linux :)

<Alt>-<F2> http://kmail.kde.org/ well, I looked there and under knail-HELP-HANDBOOK. I'm looking for info on email groups. I pulled in my addressbook from my windows email program, ( CSV file) and it did bring in my groups, but I'm not sure I understand how to modify these groups. They seem to have these "\" slash characters imbedded in the names.. ah, I see now that kaddressbook has it's OWN handbook, I didn't think to look under the addressbook for a handbook, I figured it was part of Kmail... yet I still don't see anything about groups.
Nobody.

isn't that why this group is here? if you only answered questions ONCE, the group would have died years ago. It was the same on the TB list ( TheBat!) email list I'm on, except now I answer the same questions I was asking 2 years ago ;) -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

Sorry, I can't help you with this. I can't remember the last time when I used Windows, let alone Outlook or its addressbook... BTW, if the CSV format is not the right one for you, try another format. Perhaps you need to be a bit creative, and take one or more intermediate steps (e.g. use another program to convert to format X, and use KAddressBook to import format X...). Try importing as VCard. I see a 'CATEGORIES:'-field in my addressbook list, and I have several categories in my addressbook. Now the question is how to get to that format... ;)
Nobody.
This was meant ironical. ;) Of course there are people who read FAQ's and manuals (I am one of them), but sometimes I get the feeling of somebody s?he doesn't (please don't take this personal).
That's why the same questions come up over and over again.
Well, I hope that by mentioning 'FAQ' and 'manual', and that one can actually find some answers in those things, people will look there first to find an answer quicker. But it can help to ask better questions.
isn't that why this group is here? if you only answered questions ONCE, the group would have died years ago.
New software -> new problems -> new questions And newbies do not always know where to look, or where to look first, or how to search. It's like moving into a new city: over time one gets to know his way.
It was the same on the TB list ( TheBat!) email list I'm on, except now I answer the same questions I was asking 2 years ago ;)
Hmm... sounds familiar... ;) Cheers, Leen
