It does seem that many more tools are available to handle IMAP backups, copying, syncing, etc, rather than relying on a single provider that tries to do everything itself in-house. -- Chris Bell Website chrisbell.org.uk -- GLLUG mailing list GLLUG@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug

Store your e-mails on a server - either your own or someone else's - and access them with your IMAP client of choice. They will then be readily available on every system which you choose to use.

[GLLUG] Emails
Hello, I have been using email for many years, recently using kmail on debian 10 buster, kde, and now debian 11 bullseye, kde, with kmail which dumps new mail as local mail. Both versions come with their own export/import system, and I end up with an incomplete copy of the previous configuration which then requires re-editing, and a dump of the previous emails in a totally different location, and does not provide effective access. I can see the location, the emails appear to be there as cur, new, or tmp, under various folder names, but there is no index available. I do need to refer to old emails. I do not want to have to re-boot from debian 11 bullseye into debian 10 buster every time I need to refer back. There must be a better system that can save, index, and retain old mail across different versions. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. -- Chris Bell Website chrisbell.org.uk -- GLLUG mailing list GLLUG@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
