Hi folks, I am now working for hours, to get kmail running again.
Problem: I have two computers running kmail. And I want both running the same configuration with the same mails on each computer. In other words: I want a clone of kmail on the other computer. Thus I rsynced all my mails to the same location as on computer A, which is ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/ Then deleted all akonadi files on computer B and synced all akonadi files from ~/.config/ ~/local/share/ of computer A to same location on B. -------------------- Now the special thing: On computer A (where everything is runing fine) I have only one folder, which is "KMail-Ordner" and got the non deletable "inbox", "drafts" and "template" folders. When starting kmail, it creates automatically a new folder in kmail named Local Folders, which is not deletable. First issue: I changed the path to the folder of "Local Folders" from /home/my_name/.local/share/local-mails/ to /home/my_name/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/ and would have expected, that now all my mails are rerad and appear in "Local Folders" - but it did NOT! -------------------- When I now add a new mailbox and chose "KMail-Folder" and point it to the same folder as above, all mails appear. But now I got two main folders, this is not what I want. -------------------- As I could not find any satisfying answer in the web, and obviously I am the first one with this wish, I am asking here: 1. The "Local Folder" is a maildir, the "KMail-Folder" is a mixedmaildir. Can this be changed? 2. Which files do I have to delete and copy from A to B to get a clone of kmail on B? 3. How can I get surely rid of all akonadi files for kmail on computer B? 4. What is the wrong thinking, when pointing "Local Folders" to the place, where my mails are? -------------------- I know, this is very special stuff and most documnetations related to kmail and akonadi are very old and for very old versions. So it is very difficult for me, to find out, how things are getting fixed. So I hope, someone very experienced with akonadi and kmail can help. Thank you for this in advance! Best Hans
