And I've done it! :-)= I'll still be reading mail from this old system. Old habbit, and the display card supports a higher resolution. but it works. \o/ First things first. I did the import on mdv2010.2, but I suspect the procedure will work in mageia also. When poking Google, I stumbled accross this official KDE guide: http://userbase.kde.org/KMail/FAQs_Hints_and_Tips#Migration I did some steps not in that guide, by trial and error. The mail folder in KDE3 was ~/Mail/. it was enough to copy the content of the folder into ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail/ (rsync -av user@kde3-host:Mail/ ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/) Simply copying kmailrc from a kde3 system to kde4 did not work. So I removed everything that was not an account, transport or identity setting, and saved it in a new file, which I then added to ~/.kde4/share/config/kmailrc. Next I copied the transport settings into ~/.kde4/share/config/mailtransports. I also copied emaildefaults and emailidentities into the config folder. I removed the [$version] section from the emailidentities file. The filters was imported using the export and import feature. That's basically what I did. When I launched KMail afterwards, it all worked. All folders where exactly as on the old system. Now I have to figure out why KMail doesn't see my addressbook, and i'm all set. :-)= -- Johnny A.
