Hi Peter, First, I'm not expert, I'm just linux user :) I had same problem few months ago when I upgraded from RH7.3 to MDK9.1 My folders was in "maildir" format and I had exactly same situation as yours. What I did? I kissed goodbyu my poor backup :( and now I'm using "mbox" flat file format and I can make backup easy. My wife is much happier now :))) I read that "maildir" is much better format than "mbox" (faster for search, blah blah blah) but this is not very important for me, because I don't have big email traffic on my box. Anyway, Kmail offer this choice and I use it :) Goran
