Apologies for breaking the proper threading, if indeed I have. I've got Thunderbird to connect to my ISP and fetch new messages, but I now have another, large problem. It won't import my 25,000 or so messages from kmail, nor even its filters. I do not wish to lose all that history, so can anyone suggest another e-mail client that can reliably import messages and filters from kmail? Alternatively, since kmail version 1 has disappeared from the current mirrors, does it live in an overlay somewhere so that I can get the old, solid behaviour back? I assume that if I do regress to the old version I'll lose everything that's come in since the "upgrade" (it's a POP3 server). -- Peter.
