In the end I moved my user out of the way and created a new user. Importing the e-mails from a backup of the old version omitted large numbers of e-mails, including a lot of complete folders. I also noticed that kmail had not created a trash folder. So I did it again: created another new user. This time I got more messages imported but still not the whole lot (about 25,000). Still no trash. So I imported specific folders to complete the import. I tried creating a Wastebin folder manually (that's what the trash can is called in the UK) but of course that had no effect. Now I find that several filters work sometimes but not others, thus dropping e.g. this list partly into its own folder and partly into the general inbox. If I move the offending messages myself, next time I look they've been moved back again. If I delete a message, there being no trash folder, it's re-presented as a new message together with the original, and if I delete those I get four. Now in one folder I have 120 "new" messages. Is there a sane way out of this? I don't know if I can face creating yet another new user with all the drudgery that entails. -- Peter
