Yes, I have some old archives preserved as tar.bz2 files, but I can't import them into KMail because of some internal damage to many of the messages. I think the damage was caused by a gradually developing hardware problem (which has eventually forced me into replacing the whole box), and KMail, akonadi and friends can't handle the mess. They aren't what I would call defensively programmed. They either throw wobblers or refuse to co-operate at all. So I have the basic data and can use standard tools to examine them if necessary; that will have to do for now. Meanwhile, KMail is working happily with stuff originating on the new box - apart from the apparently inevitable duplicate messages of course. > Have you tried running a stand alone SQL?

I doubt it would help me because the problem smells like higher up the stack, but you never know... -- Rgds Peter
