Before I reinstalled Kubuntu Xenial I used the export facility in KMail to export my emails using the offered format, a zip file. After Xenial was reinstalled I configured KMail with the exact folder structure I had originally and tested it with a few emails. Then I used the importwizard to import the "kmail_ emails.zip" file. If failed to do so, complaining that it could not find a "cur" subfolder for several folders in the zip file. Each folder failed. Here is the pattern: "Importing folder /transports" "No subfolder 'cur' in folder /transports" This pattern will repeat for the /note, /mails, /config, /data, /resources, /identities and /information folders that are present in the zip file which the exporter made. Examining the zip file with Ark I find that it contains no subfolders named "cur". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Close KMail 2. Run the KMail Import Wizard from the Xenial Utilities Menu 3. Select the zip file 4. It fails, every time. Actual Results: No import of emails from KMail's own generated export file. Expected Results: My emails to populate at least one folder.
Use same program to import data.
Doesn't matter. When I exported my emails from WITHIN KMail I chose a zip file as the container. When I select the import option it told me to close KMail before importing because of possible changes by plugins. So, I close KMAil andI select the Kmail import wizard from Kubuntu 16.04's Untilities menu. Trying the default import option I get the response posted above. Search for other options I notice a gzip option (but NO zip option, which is what KMail offered me as a choice). I modified the template to read ".zip" and my zip file showed up in the directory listing. I chose it and a status line appeared "importing from ..." and giving the path to and including my zip file. I let the app set for 15 minutes. At NO time did the progress bar report any importing taking place, even though KSysMonitor showed that the import wizard was eating up 4 to 10% of CPU cycles and eventually showed 100% on all four cores. Still no progress was shown on the progress bar. I shut the app down. I opened KMail back up and took the import option from its menu again and this time I closed KMail down while keeping the import GUI open. Selecting the zip file again I got the same results. So, using the KMail Import wizard alone or from within KMail, keeping KMail open or close, or any combination of those, the results are always the same. Lots of CPU cycles eaten but no progress in actually importing any emails from KMail's own exported file. Earrlier I had imported 5,200 emails from my Gmail mbox export file with no problems at all, and it went quickly. KMail, it seems, can't eat its own dog food..
Exactly the same here. It is not very clear why I am asked to give a folder name. I thought the folders tree reproduced the original one.
