Seth I think that what the OP is looking for is a way to transfer the _mail messages_ stored on their phone (which suggests that they are using POP/SMTP rather than IMAP), not the _settings_ file (which they have been able to do).
For my configuration (and this may not be the same for everybody else) - a rooted Sony Xperia Z Ultra running Android 4.3, the SETTINGS are stored in the FILE /sdcard/com.fsck.k9/settings.k9s, whereas the actual mail messages appear to be stored in the DIRECTORY /sdcard/Android/data/com.fsck.k9/files Philip > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Seth H Holmes > Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 10:45 PM > To: [email protected]; Tobias Klett > Subject: Re: [k-9-mail] Re: restore data on a new phone > > On February 11, 2014 9:35:34 AM EST, Tobias Klett <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I have the same problems. settings are exported. and i don´t have > any root rights for my new device > > Am Montag, 10.
