Hi Glen,

G'day All Trinity Gurus,
I am currently running KMail on a very old KDE/Trinity installation.
/etc/issue shows "Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS" which needs to be pensioned off
immediately.
I have installed tde-14.0.4-ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso onto a
newer computer. The installation seems OK and I managed to transfer
the mozilla bookmarks to the new computer but getting KMail across has
me stumped.
Googling did not produce anything useful. :-(((
On this old computer the KMail info seems to be stored in
/home/glen/.kde3/share/apps/kmail
but the new installation seems to have a very different directory
structure.
So, can the KMail settings and emails be copied to the newer computer?
If anyone knows how, please let me know in GOF-speak (that is words of
2-syllables or less).
Ta,
Glen
if you find these files in your old config directory, then copy all of them into the new
one while kmail is not running:
.trinity/share/config/kmail.eventsrc
.trinity/share/config/kmailrc
.trinity/share/config/kmailsnippetrc
.trinity/share/config/emaildefaults
.trinity/share/config/emailidentities
Directories, filters and almost everything is stored in kmailrc. You will want your
emailidentities, too, I guess. The other ones are not so important unless you want your
previously configured sounds etc.
In addition to the kmail data directory "/home/glen/.kde3/share/apps/kmail"
which you already have copied, that should do the trick.
Regards,
Stefan
