           Summary: If i move to a new hardware, there is no consistent
                    backup tool to move the complete kmail-environment
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.10.3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: pusztagarden at freenet.de


Version:           1.10.3 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 4.10.4", openSUSE
11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.23-0.1-default

Every year, when i get my laptop exchanged and i install a fresh
linux i face the same situation.

KMail is installed and empty (that's normal). But how to get
all previous emails (from the other laptop) and all connections imported
correctly from the old kmail installation.

I really would appreciate to have a script that saves (packs) the mail
directory and the "config"files for kmail to install them in the new
environment and perhaps on the next version of kmail.

Ignore this request if this feature is available and it's only me to be too
stupid. (rtfm-whish).

Have a lot of fun
