Hi!
It's that simple :-)
NO! It is not that simple.
Here's a complete list of files + folders to transfer:
.trinity/share/apps/kmail .trinity/share/config/emailidentities .trinity/share/config/emaildefaults .trinity/share/config/kmailrc .trinity/share/config/kmailsnippetrc .trinity/share/config/kmail.eventsrc
The directory .trinity/ does not exist on the old TDE 3.5.11 system. But that has given me a clue. I will try to find these "files + folders" in .kde3/share/ in the old system and try to transfer them to .trinity/share/ on the Trinity R14.0.2 system.
Laboriously copied the above 6 files/directories from .kde3 on the old box to .trinity on the new one. That did not work! Kmail failed to start. Deleted the 5 config files, restarted kmail, at least kmail started this time and my old mailboxes seem to have survived.
There has gotta be a better way! Cheers, Glen
