Kmail

[John]

Hi I'm still interested in this thread but by all means go ahead.
What I have so far is, that the change occurred at kde 3.4, that the account 
information can be copied into the appropriate directory and that the emails 
can be copied too providing that  they are just in the inbox and not in sub 
folders. Is this all correct?
Failing that I would like an answer to the same question.
Regards
John
