i need to transfere all my mail and configurations over to the new 11.3
install KDE 4.4.4 release2 Kmail 1.13.5 .

I have imported my actual mails from the old version althou i have to say
the process does not really do a good job but how do i get the new
kmail to read and use the configs from the previous version , I have
too many mail accounts to re do by hand all the time and too many
filters to redo by hand there should be a way of importing the settings
( i would have thought with the configs moved over it would use them by
default but it does not i have had this problem with kmail for the
longest time and it is about time it was fixed .

That sounds very strange. What version of KDE/KMail did you use before?
Unless the distribution change any paths all locations should point to the
old files and not require any importing at all.

The only version which will require some sorts of importing will be KMail2
(from KDEPIM 4.5) but that won't be released anytime soon.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Kevin

The version i am trying to use the configs from is the version that came with
KDE 4.3.1 on an opensuse 11.2 RC version it is a problem i have come across
several times unless i use kde as root but as a user i have always had to
fight this problem and normally end up redoing it all by hand but thats going
to take me a month of sundays to do now

Pete .
