(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.3.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: wishlist Installed from: Mandrake Linux Vitamin Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.8-26mdk OS/Compiler notes: Hi I am switching over from Windows (2000 Professional) to Linux (Mandrake 8.1 defaults). I need to import all my Outlook Express 5 ( with I.E. 5.50 sp2 ) folders here. However all the EMPTY folders give an error when being imported. (this happens with EMPTY newsgroup folders as well). Folders containing AT LEAST one mail are imported correctly. It would be better to display a (detailed?) list of folders that were not imported for whatever reason.

Outlook Express 6 mails can't be imported. While in general it is said to be the same format as OE 5, this is not true. I can't import OE6 mails, and I'd *really* want to do this. Is this planned, or is it already possible and is it just not working for me? I'd appreciate it very, very much if the kmailcvt-developers could reply here giving more information about this. Thanks, Ludootje ludootje@linux.be
I successfully imported mails from outlook express 6.0 but i had to delete some received mails before that cause the import filter to crash. deleted mails were two from yahoo in html and 3 with receipt requets. all other 390 received mails for 2002 were imported. hope this helps.
Well, it doesn't work... in my case it doesn't crash, it just says it's not a valid .dbx-file. I don't know how to fix this at all :/ There are mails in HTML though, I'm pretty sure of that. Did kmailcvt literally crash for you or did it just not work? If I need to manually remove all HTML mails that'll take quite some time, the file is over 3MB's...
Hi, i know what you described about "not a valid dbx file" msg, it happens with empty OE folders, in this case i created another folder with only two files inbox.dbx and sent items.dbx and imported from using kmailcvt. about the crash, i should describe it as a freeze on the messages i talked about later. just remove them, you'll see where the problem occur , ie in which msg the import stop and delete it or the msg which is just the next from your windows and reboot to linux to try the import again. hope
