Description Colin L. Carter 2007-10-18 13:57:17 UTC

Version:           3.5.1 Level "a"  (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.16.53-0.16-default

No back up instructions.

Your documentation states that my mail is in  ~/Mail   it is not.
But I found it.

When I try to copy it, the directory structure copies, but no mail.

I realise that there should be a security issue to consider,
but it would be nice if I didn't have to copy every single letter
onto my removable back up.

Thank you for any help in this regard.

PS: Why does the manual specify two contact e-mail address which 'bounce'?

Regards,
Colin

Sorry but I don't understand your report.
I suppose you mean some documentations, but which one?

>Your documentation states that my mail is in  ~/Mail   it is not.

Which documentation? The Kmail Handbook?

>PS: Why does the manual specify two contact e-mail address which 'bounce'?

Which manual has two bouncing e-mail adresses?
Could you please name these adresses?

Consider that you filed this bug report for the product "khelpenter", but this is only the application to display the help documentation.

I suppose the correct product should be "docs", so please change it.

Needs an answer. Is the problem still there?
