Hello Nik,
Thank you for your quick reply. My 12 year old P4 dual core is dieing and I have a new AMD quad core sat here doing nothing but waiting for me to get round to using it.

Hi Guys,
I need to save and transfer all my Kmail, Knode settings and passwords to a new machine running Jessie/TDE desktop. However the machine I need to transfer from is 32 bit and the new one is 64 bit, I don't know if that makes a difference.
Which files do I need to copy over ? I've already done a backup of "Home" though some files didn't copy at all but I think that they were things like sockets.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi!
64 or 32 does not matter. Either move the whole ~/.trinity folder to the new machine, or be more selective.
I'm glad that moving from 32 to 64 bit isn't an issue.
For kmail do a "find . -iname kmail*", to get all the files an folders. You'll need at least: ~/.trinity/share/apps/kmail ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc The Folder, where your mails are stored in: cat ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc|grep folders=
Thanks: found them.
You might also need the tdewallet, if you stored the passwords there: ~/.trinity/share/apps/tdewallet ~/.trinity/share/config/tdewalletrc ~/.trinity/share/apps/tdewallet/kdewallet.kwl
I don't use Kdewallet ! I've had some previous experience with that and I don't like it.
For knode .. I've never used it, so ....
I found that data using the same path as above. Thanks:
Please write down the passwords for your email accounts prior to moving, 'cause that was a source of surprises for me :-)

Actually it was keeping hold of the passwords for the various accounts that was my main concern. I did rather hope that it would just be a simple file transfer.
