G'day Trinity Users, At last I've found a tuit ( a round one) :-) Upgrading from TDE 3.5.11 to Trinity R14.0.2. So far, I've got Ubuntu 14.04.4 with Trinity R14.0.2 on another computer. My yellow-streak compells me to leave the working TDE 3.5.11 system alone until the new box is properly configured.
My main problem is transferring KMail settings and mailboxes to the new system, so my questions are .... 1. Is it just a simple copy of the files from the old to the new systems? 2. If this is possible, which files need to be copied? From where to where? (Seems that paths and directories are very different on the two systems).
FWIW. I tried searching the list archives but my search-foo is rather low just now, but I found some references that suggest that what I want to do is actually doable.
Thanks in antic, Glen
PS. If anyone is interested, the "new" system is an Aldi Akoya E4214 which is not as yet well supported by Linux distros but eventually got WiFi working with a custom compiled driver. G.
Hi!
It's that simple :-)
Here's a complete list of files + folders to transfer:
.trinity/share/apps/kmail .trinity/share/config/emailidentities .trinity/share/config/emaildefaults .trinity/share/config/kmailrc .trinity/share/config/kmailsnippetrc .trinity/share/config/kmail.eventsrc
Your folder with all mails (just in case you don't know): $ cat .trinity/share/config/kmailrc|grep ^folders=
And if you stored account passwords with kwallet, that hast to be moved, to. Or you enter the account passwords again.

NO! It is not that simple.

The directory .trinity/ does not exist on the old TDE 3.5.11 system. But that has given me a clue. I will try to find these "files + folders" in .kde3/share/ in the old system and try to transfer them to .trinity/share/ on the Trinity R14.0.2 system.

You can migrate whole KDE3.x profile by using migratekde3 script (located in /opt/trinity/bin). Or simply copy current ~/.kde3 profile from old system and profile will be migrated automatically during first login.

Laboriously copied the above 6 files/directories from .kde3 on the old box to .trinity on the new one. That did not work! Kmail failed to start. Deleted the 5 config files, restarted kmail, at least kmail started this time and my old mailboxes seem to have survived.
There has gotta be a better way! Cheers, Glen
