Description alexandra 2005-04-28 11:45:50 UTC 
Version:           kde3.40 b (using KDE KDE 3.3.92)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Just did a new install of SuSE9.3 
Saved all of my old Kmail messages
BUT how do I import them into the new Kmail
Your import function does not address how to import Kmail - many other mail programs but NO Kmail.

Is there a way to convert from maildir to mbox 
would like to be able to read the messages 
Please tell me how to import of better please add import old Kmail to your Mail program

Thanks 
Alexandra

A little note: the KDE Bug tracking system is only for bug-, crash or whish-reports. For generell questions or support please use the kmail mailinglist or for example the SUSE-Linux mailinglist.
