I think I've only ever used Thunderbird as a desktop mail client, so I'm fairly ignorant about the boons and issues with other clients.

[Dorset] Migrating from KMail to Thunderbird
Just wondering if you ever overcame the Aliases problem.

The main reason for this is that I make considerable use of forwarded addresses to the half dozen mailboxes that I maintain on my Mail provider's servers. If I get a lot of spam then it's only one address that I have to change to stop it. However, the time has come I think to migrate away from KMail. There have been a number of irritating bugs tthat simply don't seem to be getting fixed and bugs that I've reported get no response. The only problem is that I can't find a way of exporting all my KMail aliases into Thunderbird identities. There are references out there to exporting emails but not aliases. Can anyone help? -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2022-09-06 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
