kmail: message archive and restore - RFH

Thank you for replying.   


> Do you mean copying the whole Mail directory doesn't work?

I am sorry but I wasn't sure I understood the suggestion.  

Are you are suggesting I just drag and drop the entire mail directory into 
k3b? 

If so, it creates completely the uncertainly I am trying to avoid: 

I wouldn't know that when I drop the directory into a fresh install of Kmail, 
that I would be able to read my messages. 

When I move one message out of the directory and put it back, Kmail cannot 
"see" it (I might as well have deleted it)

I didn't understand what you meant here.  Did you mean set up another user 
account?  How then would I save the messages, without encountering the 
problem about?
