Hello list,
I've been a loyal user of KMail for many years. (Loyal? Masochistic
might be a
better word.) It suits me exactly - or it would if it were reliable.
It isn't,
though, which drives me to consider alternatives.
Claws mail is often mentioned hereabouts, and I'd like to try it, but
first I'd
need to export KMail's 20-odd-year maildir history to mbox format. Is
it
enough to run KMail's Import/Export Data tool to do this? It should
be, on the
face of it, but I'm suspicious (consider me paranoid if you like).
I've been a happy user of Balsa for many years. It reads maildir as
is, no conversion necessary. Can also use mbox and other formats, and
does IMAP as well as POP3.
