Re: [kde] Migrating my KMail to a new machine.

Hi:

I will soon be retiring this machine
KDE 3.2.3, KMail 1.6.2, slackware 10.0
and replacing it with a new one.

This will be ubuntu 7.04 (amd_64) with KDE 3.5.6 and
KMail 1.9.6

Question:
Can I copy my ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail to the same path on the
new machine and retain the same configuration.

configuration:
~/.kde/share/config/kmail*

mail data:
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail

copy the above folders and you'll keep your configuration and mail.
Of course you'd better backup your ~/.kde first if possible, just in
case.

<snip>
To keep any mail you'd need to copy over your ~/Mail directory and for
email address' you'll need a directory in ~/.kde which I believe is called
kabc but I can't check to be ceetain if that's the correct name right now.

Usually when I install a new slack system I just copy over my entire .kde
directory to save all my settings for all aps but kde in slack is set up
just as kde developers intended some other distros modify to suit and I
can't say if that is the case with ubuntu


kabc folder is storing the contacts' information which saved in the
KAddressBook. And yes, if you want to keep your contacts' information, you
also need to copy ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc. For KAddressbook's configuration
it might be in the ~/.kde/share/config/kaddressbook*.

Franklin
