Saifi, Thanks for your mail. What i did to take backups of my e-mails of different folder is, go to tools->configure kmail-> change the default folder format from maildir format to mbox. Now create a new folder (this is in mbox format as we changed it). copy/move you all mails in this new folder. Now go to /home/sumit/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail (use your user name not sumit) You will find all your folders here. There will be a file with the name of the new you created. so copy this file where ever you want. Thanks Sumit
