"pimsettingexporter" does nothing for me. It is useless. It puzzles me how it windes up in the KDE sc.

""pimsettingexporter" does nothing for me. It is useless. It puzzles me how it windes up in the KDE sc."
and you have more infos ?
Comment 2 PK 2013-06-02 08:32:29 UTC
Yes I have more infos.
I have six (imap) accounts in my kmail2 userprofile. And I changed a lot of settings. Kmail2 is realy great! 
It would save a huge amount of time when I could backup this profile with all its settings. So I start the "pimsettingexporter" (b.t.w. I also have to startup the pimsettingsEXPORTER to IMPORT a profile...). Then I follow instructions. I use Kubuntu (KDE sc 4.10.2). The pimsettingexporter kept saying "couldn't dump mysql". I appear to have solved that by installing mysql-server and msql-client. Is that a missing dependency on my system?
When I take the zip-file pimsettingexporter produced, and try to reproduce the profile ONLY the "identeties" are reproduced correctly. The imap accounts are turned into wrong pop3 accounts and none of the settings are reproduced. Further I can't notice anything that has happened.
To me this is a disappointment but if you use KDE professional I think this is unacceptable.

"The imap accounts are turned into wrong pop3 accounts" not good if it's transform to pop3 account.
"Is that a missing dependency on my system?" you need it to reinstall it. Will add debug info about it.

I really like to help you. I think pimsettingexporter is a great idea. But if you say "you need it to reinstall it. Will add debug info about it" I suppose by "reinstall IT you mean Kmail2? And how do I "add debug"...
I didn't say that I use the "vertical layout" in Kmail2. Even that isn't restored on my target system. Perhaps the problem is not so much EXportin as it is IMporting.
But I will reinstall Kmail2 and see what happens.
Keep up the good work!

I had to again set up Kmail by hand. Now I have only three accounts set up.
I made a backup of the kmail-data. Here http://tinypic.com/r/3013le8/5 you see what Ark shows. It looks completely descent.
I think it is with the restoring that everything becomes a mess.
Comment 6 Laurent Montel 2013-06-02 12:20:29 UTC
no I will add debug about it (done in 4.11)
And reinstall IT is mysqldump


Ok .zip is ok. Yes it's restoring which has problem.
Comment 7 Laurent Montel 2013-06-02 12:28:18 UTC
I fixed your bug in 4.10.5
It's right pop3 was replaced by imap 

now it's ok
Comment 8 Laurent Montel 2013-06-02 12:28:56 UTC
I close it. But please open other bug when you see new bug
Thanks
