           Summary: Backup function for Kmail Mail - Either in Kmail
                    program or Standalone App
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: harryl at owc.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I would like to have a way to backup my e-mail from Kmail, and possibly a
restore function in case of a hard drive crash.

It is fairly easy to back up contacts, calendar, notes in the Kontact PIM, not
so with the mail.

Since Kubuntu 8.04, I have looked in the mail directory in kde/share/kmail, and
have not seen files stored there, except ones in the trash folders.

I suppose this is all stored in a SQL database somewhere on the disk via
Akomadi, But where?

I'm not that good in scripting, so having a function in the program would be
the way to go.

With upgrading, and installing Kubuntu on other machines, have had to use
Import from Thunderbird mail to re-create the maildir. ( Kinda like dual- book
keeping, to not lose any data.)
