(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           V 2.1 (using KDE 2.2.0 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I have a on older inbox from KDE 2.1 that I want to import into KDE 2.2. It's really a consolidation of two inboxes into one. I did an import because I couldn't find an Open file command but kmailcvt crashed. The import type I chose was Pegasus mail assuming that the *.mbx format would be the same formay as the mbox. I could not see any files in the file box but when I typed inbox in the location area kmailcvt said "Counting files" and then returned with the following backtrace

Any ideas? I'd really like to import my old files...

Dear Paul

If you want to "import" KDE 2.1 kmail mailboxes to KDE 2.2 kmail mailboxes 
you should just have to be able to put them in the kmail directory (maybe 
under a different name). if you want to really import the 'mbox' format or the
kmail format you have to write a specialized import filter for KMailCvt.

Best whishes

Cleanup removed char * pointers etc, shouldn't crash anymore
