Transfering mail to a new machine
|
|
|
I just got a new computer, and have SUSE 10.1 on it. My old computer has
9.3. I want to transfer my Kmail mail from the old to the new. The two
computers are not hooked on a network together. If I copy the Mail folder
to a jump disk, then to the new computer, I only see one or two of the old
messages. I have noticed that Kmail has an import command under tools, but
I don't see an export command. I would appreciate any help.

I moved my KMAIL Mail folder from a SuSE 7.1 system to 10.1 with a ZIP
disk, and everything was intact on the new system. That directory has
hidden
files. You might make sure they were included in your copy!

I migrated my KMail mail from SUSE 9.2 to SUSE 10.0 using
cp -a -R
This copies files in sub-directories, and preserves file attributes. It
worked fine.
