Hello Ya'll,
I can't find where TDE KMAIL in Regular TDE stores its emails?
What I mean by "Regular TDE" is:
I installed Debian 12 with a minimal XFCE install, then installed TDE on top of that.
In Q4OS, TDE KMAIL stored emails under "~/home/chris/.tdeconfig/share/ ".......something like that......
Thanks, Chris

cat ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc | grep ^folders=

All the mails in kmail (tde) are stored in : /home/<user>/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail/<accounts>/cur/ tmp/ new/ in the account directories that you have created in kmail (tde), in this form each : ...<account>/cur/ : 1712834427.6798.TI07k:2,S 1712839845.6798.gUgk8:2,S ... Most of time, tmp/ new/ are empty, only /cur contains mails.
Hope it helps. André

The actual mail is stored in ~/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail
which is pointed to by the statement folders[$e]=$HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail
in the file ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc
(IMO this violates the principle of separating user data from software configuration.)

I guess this could be changed - I believe I remember a distribution where KDE used something like ~/mail (but I can't remember which :( )

e.g. Debian, when it was was still serving KDE3.5. The config is in ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc - just change folders= to a place you like and move your mail directory there.

This works until, for some reason (e.g. kmail crash) it is necessary to rebuild kmailrc, at which point kmail regenerates some internal checksums or some such for the default mail folders, and when it's switched to point to your real mail directory, surprise! things like your mail filters all disappear. (That's been my experience; ymmv.)

What about a backup of kmailrc?
This being said, apart from principles, I have no problem with ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc, and you can also move mail somewhere else and just create a link (I do this because mail gets quite big and I use a not so big /home partition).
