Hi,

To back up what John said, I did try to restore my mails from a previous 
backup to a new fresh home formated installation. I tested many 
possibilities, none worked out, and I'm still looking for a way to read my 
old mails. I tried to edit kmailrc to point to my mail backup directory, it 
complained about not being able to create a inbox folder because there was 
already one. I tried using simlinks within the default structure to point to 
my backup directories, same result. I tried moving the mail files (after 
having recreated the directories manually), only those in inbox would work, 
none of the sub directories ones were detected (I tried placing them in cur 
or new to no avail).

I reckon there must be a way, but I'm still looking for it and a helpful hand 
would be welcome. The least I can tell is that restoring an old mail backup 
with this new mail structure is all but straight forward...

Sylvain
