I wrote on this list about this before. See my last mail in the thread "kdepim 16.04 from experimental": lists.debian.org/1804539.YkVyMII8Xc@merkaba Feel free to start a wiki page from this based on this. My migration experience is outdated, as I migrated last autumn already with a much earlier version of the Qt/KF5 based KDEPIM and Akonadi, but for me the automatic migration basically worked. Still make a backup before you upgrade as I described in that mail. And I wouldn´t use export/import, it never worked for me. If you have a mixed maildir resource currently, there is one thing you could do: You could move any mbox based folders, if you have some, out of it, and then delete the resource and add a maildir resource pointing to the directory with the mail, if there are still in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail, I´d move them to ~/.local/share/local-mail. Why? As to my knowledge the pure maildir resource is better tested than the mixed maildir one. Although I miss it. But anyhow, if automatic migration works nicely for you, I´d probably just go with it, no matter whether you have a mixed maildir resource or not. Thanks, -- Martin
