Hi all
Where does Kmail locate its mail directories? It is evidently in a
different place than where I am used to it being.

Thanks

You should find them in /home/user/Mail

Thanks Nigel

That is the place I first went to look, because that is where I'd expect
them to be. Only thing I have in /home/user/Mail/inbox is "1". I was
wondering if they were kept in /opt or something, because they don't
seem to be in .kde or any other (obvious) dot directories.

The only other suggestion I had from the KDE list when I wanted to move mail, was to look in /home/user.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail . That's a bit hit and miss, but you might find it there.

Thanks Nigel - you hit the nail on the head.

Much obliged
