I am restoring my KMail details from Lenny with KDE 3.5.10 to Squeeze with TDE 3.5.13, patched with Slávek's patches.
in the configuration files from KDE 3.5.10 may be used .kde/share and /usr/share. It is necessary to change these settings to .trinity/share and /opt/trinity/share.
Note: The identities for KMail are in .trinity/share/config/emailidentities.
Thanks, Slávek. I have followed this advice, and things are now better. TDE will open properly, and so at last will KMail. But I have still not got my folders and data.
Last time I tried to run Trinity on Squeeze on my desktop, I gave up and went back to Lenny and KDE 3.5.10 precisely because of this problem. I can't afford to lose the whole bang shoot. Identities I can re-enter, connection details I can re-enter. The folder structure and emails are important to me.
Sadly, retreat back to Lenny is no longer realistically an option.
I have for now retreated back to my old computer. I am doing an online course and being cut off from emails for days is not really an option.
So any data I have managed to transfer across will have to be retransferred.
Have I got to the end of the line?

Istr that the default location for the 'root' kmail folder has changed in TDE; in KDE it was ~/Mail but iirc it has been moved to somewhere in the ~/.trinity folder. I had to edit ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc to set it back to ~/Mail (as this was an NFS mount on my server and I didn't want to have to change it).
Have a look in the kmailrc file - search for the string "[General]" and then check to see where 'folders[$e]' is pointing.
