Dear Kde users,

I'm migrating from Evolution 3.4.4 to Debian Kde 4.8.4 and Kmail version 1.13.7

My Evolution folders are Maildir so I would use the filter for Evolution 3.x.
But in this version of Kmail I only have the the options to import Evolution 2.x and 1.x

According to this article there is a filter for 3.x
http://docs.kde.org/stable/es/kdepim/kmail/importing.html#idp14484656
but I cannot find any kmail changelog that refers to this.

Since the mail is organized in a folder like tree, it has lots of subfolders. So it would be very time consuming to copy one folder at a time with evolution to mbox.
Sadly the way Kmail and Evolution store subfolders is incompatible, so shared folders are not an option.

Is there a way to download this filter and make it run out of Kontact? Or maybe it is possible to create a new account in evolution, transfer mail there so it stores like an mbox, import mbox from kmail ...?

Thanks!

The ability to import Evolution 3.x mails is only available in recent version of KDEPIM (4.10-4.11-4.12). Unfortunately the versions shipped by Debian are extremely old and do not provide this feature.

Thanks,
Sorry for the late response. Been switching email accounts and the notification slipped.
