Thanks for the reply, Stefan,
None of the files that you suggest exit in this old installation.

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
