Found an ugly solution: 1. Deleted the mailfolder ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/
2. Started kmail and let create the "Local Folders", which now point to ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/ mail.directory/ and created another folder ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/ 3. Then rsync all mails from computer A into folder ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail.directory/ of computer B. 4. Restarted kmail and suddenlky all mails appeared again! -------------------- This is working now, but left some questions: 1. Why can the new folder not be named ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/ and is called */mail.directory 2. Why does kmail on two computers not behave identically, although all configuration files were identically on computer A and B and the complete akonadi database was deleted on computer B? 3. Why did "Local Folders" NOT read my mails, although I pointed them to the folder, where my mails resided? 4. And last but not least: Why did it read from the new created folder "*/mail.directory/", although this was identically to the former folder? -------------------- Maybe someone can answer this question, however, if not, it will be ok for me. Since akonadi was introduced in kmail, IMO it is a pita. If it works, you are lucky, but if anything is going wrong, you are getting in big trouble. But maybe I am just to stupid for it.... Anyway, problem (ugly) solved. Best Hans
