Version: 1.8 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package Compiler: I use KDE from the THACs RPMs for Mandrake 10.1. OS: Linux Kmail1.8 has tools to import mails from various e-mail clients. It is strange it does not import local folders from previous versions of Kmail. I tried to move all files and folders from ~/.Mail to ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail: - Still, Kmail does not read old mails under the folders here, like the inbox, sent-mails folders etc. The paths is supposed to be right: kmail stores new mails in these folder, and there are new and old emails in the same folders. Kmail ignore the old emails. - On the other side, local .mbx mails works fine. The imap settings from previous kmail-version still works fine.
~/.Mail was never a KMail path. But KMail does use ~/Mail on existing configurations. What you did should have worked, for all I know.
I also think that it would be a good option. For instance, if one wants to go to a different account, or a different computer, and wants to import the e-mails from the previous account/computer.
I work on this for kmailcvt, but first kmail must be able to import mails to specific folder and subfolder.

I got my mails imported via auto-mbox and KMailCVT. In the german newsgroup I got the hint to allow writing to my mailfiles. Maybe this is interesting for you to know (i copied my mails to DVD an back on harddisk as normal files and therefore the rights were setted unusual for the maildir-files!). Thanks for kmail!
This is normal if you copy a file to DVD or CD the file is not writeable. And if you copy the file back to your harddisk you need to set them back e.g. with 'chmod 644 * -R'
