Hi all,
I have an old machine that still runs KDE 3. I plan to install Debian 8 with Trinity R14.
Does R14
support settings migration from KDE3? Or will all the settings be lost?

Trinity now uses other files than KDE 3, and the files have been renamed.
Settings are in .trinity , not .kde .
I have never tried copying and renaming the files, but I would expect
problems. Also you seem to imply you want to update an older Debian with KDE
3 to Jessie - I doubt this will work well, as very big changes have occured.
What's more, if I remember well, it was recommended to remove KDE 3 completely
prior to installing Trinity to avoid conflicts (but that may have been only
for older Trinity versions).
I have copied and edited kmail settings in the past, but this involved editing
some config files.
So I would install a fresh Debian 8 with Trinity (I would do this on new
partitions while keeping the old install until everything works as expected)
and set up Trinity from scratch.

R14 keeps settings in ~/.trinity, while KDE3 keeps settings in either ~/.kde
or possibly ~/.kde3, depending on the distro running it.
I recently did a "migration" that may have been much like you propose, for a
friend dependent on TTS functionality. He had KDE3 on openSUSE 13.1, 12.2 and
11.3. For him I put TDE on both openSUSE 42.1 and on Debian Stretch.
For my friend, I copied 13.1's ~/.kde/ to ~/.trinity/ using MC. IIRC, most,
but not all, KDE3 desktop settings were preserved in TDE. We were pleased
overall with the results. The few settings that were not carried over were
easy enough to adjust.

After installing TDE on a machine where KDE3 was previously installed, settings from .kde3
are migrated automatically to
./trinity at the first logon into R14.
There may be some hick-ups here and there in some special cases, anyhow the original
settings in .kde3 are maintained
and you can always fix special cases manually.

Thank you all for replies.
Which distro was running KDE3?
In my case this
was openSUSE 11.3. I was doing a fresh install of Debian, but keeping the /home
partition.
I tried doing the migration today but sadly it did not work. Having .kde folder in home
directory
prevented Trinity from even starting. Same if I renamed .kde to .trinity. The only thing I
really
cared about though were emails, so I just moved my .kde folder to a different location and
then
copied kmail settings to .trinity folder. As mentioned by Thierry this required editing
some
config files, but in the end it worked.
