Not exactly No. I asked in my whislist to save all related configure files of KMail from $HOME/.kde/share/config directory into a bzipped file with also all Mail directory, or specifying the directory of the emails to archive. If this feature doesn't want to be realized in future KMail version remove this "bug". I can't tell you nothing, but if in future studying KDE, KMail I can realize this future could I do it? (I think I need at least one year from now and some suggest) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA/4dMnT2ev4/bQKARAm/VAJ0fW8uuGeUnYMOVRKep3rAYT4I1pQCdEp19 kv7E7M+8RffZidCoepXzO/Q= =f0jP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- If you create a good patch, we could include it... Wow. These are all very similar, yet not similar enough to be dupes (IMHO): bug 55827, bug 77744, bug 85656, bug 34382 and bug 76690. *** Bug 86458 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 94454 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Actually this should be assigned to kontact, as backing up email is not enough since working with kmail is bound to kaddressbook as well as korganiser and knote. Thus Kontact should have a central tool to export all its data and configuration in order to allow the user to easily restore its working environment on a different computer, or after installing a new linux. I'm trying to write the code for archiving emails. Do I have to stop or I can continue? please continue to writing your code...and include the backup feature for the mail directory and kmail settings, please - if you can do it - i hope it ;) its a very usefull feature *** Bug 146013 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Similar bugs: bug 34382 bug 55827 bug 76690 bug 77744 bug 85656 bug 89100 According to some people, these bug reports differ slightly in details, so I won't mark them as duplicates now. *** Bug 162061 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 188677 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 197344 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 193332 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 201084 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 171030 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 203450 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 216668 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 217983 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** In Kmail2 (KDE 4.7.0) Wish for Option to Export all mail to Maildir format. Begging even. In kmail 4.9 there is a new program backupmail which does it. |
