migrate from kmail3.5 to kmail4.7

Sat Oct 15, 2011 11:53 am
hi,
I have to migrate from kmail3.5 to kmail4.7
I have all messages in dir: ~/Mail

I have to migrate: messages, accounts, filters, contacts

is there a way to do this?




thanks

I tried to migrate on two computers.

both a nightmare (lost mail (I had backups), moved
mail to strange new locations, accounts had to be
setup manually, filter had to be re-setup, and only
work sporadically)

I think it might be OK if you started from scratch
and did not try migration, but overall I don't think
kmail2 is ready yet

I switched to thunderbird - breath of fresh air
