Surprisingly, it w= as=20 not *too* bad; i.e. my old emails were not corrupted, deleted or otherwise= =20 affected. However, the following are things that didn't really work as a rational hum= an=20 being would expect with a PIM setup, let alone anyone who's running this in= a=20 production environment with loads of users! The auto-migration did not work. It only worked partially for some mail=20 account settings, but did not leave behind a workable system, with half the= =20 account settings missing. The kmail-migrator --interactive also did not work. I had to change the location pointing to the local mail folders - I keep mi= ne=20 under ~/Mail. Then after pressing F5 on each folder akonadi scanned the=20 respective mail directory and my stored messages showed up! :-) Partial success here, however, because the Sent mail subfolders were not=20 imported, linked to or showed up. I keep my sent mail in separate subfolde= rs=20 according to the account that I sent messages from and they are stored ther= e=20 using kmails filters. Trying to manually import ~/Mail/.sent-mail.directory/Sent-Gmail, etc. did = not=20 work no matter how many times I tried. Eventually I set up a new local resource account (Settings/Accounts/Add) an= d=20 pointed this to .sent-mail.directory. It imported everything, but as a new= =20 top-level folder. :-( I tried a number of times to update these, but sqlite3 just hangs for some= =20 reason and neither completes the update, not does it complain (when launchi= ng=20 kmail from a terminal). I don't know if mysql would be more successful her= e. The migration of the email account Settings was even less successful. The= =20 settings for Sending transferred across, but the account settings for=20 Receiving did not survive. Well, let me be more precise here. They did=20 survive, as they were all still in the kmailrc file. I checked this agains= t a=20 back up. No matter, they didn't show up under accounts. I resorted to recreating these from scratch using the kmail GUI and other t= han=20 some changes on the GUI fields, the pop3 email accounts worked fine. =20 The IMAP4 accounts were less of a success however. I recreated them from=20 scratch, but no messages showed up under Inbox. Sent and Trash work fine. Having ran out of time I was wondering if you came across such breakages an= d=20 if so how did you fix them. =46or now I have masked KDEPIM 4.7 on all of my remaining boxen. This is t= oo=20 messy to have to fix more than once, if I can fix it at all that is! The only thing that's keeping me from mutt is the zillion shortcut commands= =20 that I need to learn ... old dog/new tricks and all that. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1434967.gWZ7NJl9nJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk77t84ACgkQVTDTR3kpaLY0BQCg7fIOruiXMBUZY8JK0YCXGtZz PrAAnjyatK+BlSejHsHbuAcwzPVmFe04 =3qHo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1434967.gWZ7NJl9nJ--
