You should probably, immediately after breathing a sigh of relief, back up your Kmail2 and make a plan to back it up regularly. Kmail2 now stores part of its message content in a "database" called Akonadi. To me, that makes backup, restoration and transfer much harder than standard Maildir, Mbox or MH text/directory data storage. A couple years ago, when confronting a mandatory switch from Kmail to Kmail2 (with Akonadi), I switched to my current setup, and to this day I'm *extremely* pleased with the new setup. Here's info on the new setup, and how I transitioned: http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/201202/201202.htm Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt * http://www.troubleshooters.com/ Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
