[opensuse] Question for Leap KDE Pim-suite 5 users
For Leap: Did anybody change from kde PIM 4 in Leap to Version 5 and: did this take over all settings and mailboxes without problems? If you had quirks which one? And did you find a work around? Did the migration of kgpg based wallets work? Does anybody use smartcard based gpg mail encrytion with 5? Does it work?. Any warnings to be mentioned? Sorry for the many questions but before trying to migrate I try to gather some info. Thank you. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

I recently went from Mint to Leap, preserving my /home so Kontact 4 was just as I'd left it. It didn't take long before I upgraded to Kontact 5.
did this take over all settings and mailboxes without problems?
Well, as far as email is concerned, it worked perfectly. I don't know whether you make use of Korganizer; I use it extensively, via the Kolab groupware facility, which leads me to the next point:
If you had quirks which one? And did you find a work around?
I don't know whether it was coincidence, but around the time I upgraded Korganizer stopped syncing with the server. I spent a good couple of hours fiddling with things before finally giving up in despair, deleting the entire groupware account, and downloading everything again. It worked, but I wish I hadn't had to do it.
Did the migration of kgpg based wallets work?
Sorry, I don't use them so I can't answer.
Does anybody use smartcard based gpg mail encrytion with 5? Does it work?. Any warnings to be mentioned?
I don't use this either. If it's mainly email that concerns you, I'd recommend the upgrade without hesitation. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Huw

Yes, including e-mail identities and so on. KMail just started to use different aggregation of threads, but it can be changed by few clicks.

It was not so long ago discussed on oS-KDE ML that You need to turn off Akonadi before upgrade so that the upgrader can safely convert the DB.
Did the migration of kgpg based wallets work?
I don't have this settings. My Kwallet (I do not have unlocking password, whole my disk is encrypted) was migrated.
Does anybody use smartcard based gpg mail encrytion with 5? Does it work?.
I didn't try.
Any warnings to be mentioned?
Keep good backup before doing so if You have valuable data in there. :-)

Note settings of KDE PIM 5 apps is not 100% same as of KDE PIM 4, so check it after upgrade. If You are using Akregator and You have some special settings in Konqueror regarding Ad blocking, privacy and so on, empty its cache.
Thank you.
No testing, but new Akonadi seems to be much faster. Also to mention, I do not see really dramatic change in KDE PIM 5 apps comparing to the older version. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/cs
