           Summary: Need function to export/import kmail's settings, or to
                    synchronize settings between kmail instances running
                    on several computers
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.11.4
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: stefan.kebekus at web.de


Version:           1.11.4 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4) "release 2", KDE:42 /
openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.23-0.1-default

I use kmail for my work. I have installations of kmail at my workplace, on my
business laptop and on a computer of a department that I am frequently
visiting. While using the "disconnected IMAP" feature to sychronize the
mailboxes works great for me, I have the problem that I need to manually
synchronize the kmail settings. For instance, when my office phone number
changes, I need to go to every single installation and edit the "signature"
field in the identity dialog.

It would save me a lot of work if there was a mechanism that could synchronize
the settings between several installations of kmail. If a full-blown
synchronization mechanism seems too complicated, even a simple "export/import
settings" feature would be of great help.

Thank you for your great work!

Stefan Kebekus.
