Re: imaping an existing kmail maild atabase

I am using devecot imap on the server at home and access the mailbox on that server from multiple clients. There is nothing special for that. You have to tell dovecot where your mail is and in which format. usually I would configure the server side mailbox aside from the home directory. You could use imap to copy your local mailbox data to the server dir after you set it up once. This is in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf you can use anything like fetchmail to get mails to the mailbox and serve it to all clients. If you have any other pop3 accounts. This is what I would do. Thus you collect your mails in one mailbox and access them via imap by any client. I also had my mailbox set in the user home years ago and this was I guess by default set by Kmail, but turned to be misleading. However the flexibility of all this is so big that there is surely a way to get what you want or get it really wrong. I hope this helps
