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
I'll be doing that just as quick as slavek can give me the apt-key
command to install the trinity repo's key. Without it, apt won't do it.
In this case to a debian 9.4 (stretch) install. After that done and
trinity is installed, I fully expect to be able to have mc copy the
whole corpus of email from wheezy's /home/gene/Mail directory to the new
directory on the stretch drive. With my .fetchmailrc, .procmailrc
and .spamassassin configs in place, it should just work.
apt-key ????? Ah, found it, all I have to do is reboot to stretch, and
find this web page:
