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:
