Help!

[Finch, Darren]

Many thanks for the help.

I created the account and copied the Mail folder into darren/Mail as you suggested - and changed the owner to darren:users from root:root.

I now can see all the folders I created but the contents are blank (even the inbox)

Almost there I guess !

I believe you need to make a new account within kmail then copy your 
untared file into it manually. At least this is what I need to do with 
many other email clients.
