Again got a question for one & all. got a fresh install of mepis and would like to import the old Kmail file structure across. old syetem was/is Kubuntu 7.10
i have tried .... Kmail import tool (within mepis) with no luck. copy folders from old location across into new location so joy with some sadness (some messages popup with no subject (aka index errors me thinks as i came across some of these in old system). did have some issues with this and wanted to kill the indexes off too see if this would solve the problem but didn't have disk capacity to do this until now. Not sure if i've used mbox format or not!! Hope this helps ... Each message has some funny lettering (e.g. Fdfhhgvde34rff....) and you have a directory stucture like this .kde/.../kmail->mail->inbox, outbox, sentbox.... in each of these you have 3 directories named cur temp new. hope this help folks sort out the type of mailbox i have in the old one. the boss is getting narly at me, and i might have my rations cut (aka no tea cooked for me at nights if this isn't sorted soon). my tummy might be largish but i'm afraid i'll thin down too much and then be forced to cook for myself (and no one wants me doing that - 1 pot man and was dangerous when single). rgds, dave - the thinning man...
