--- Comment #3 from Fred Jackson <fredrick.o.jackson at gmail.com> ---
How odd: in comment#2, pedro is unable to find a newly created folder or it's
content, but on my machine, it is the default folders which cannot be found on
disk. I have created a filter COPIES any new emails to a folder I created and
then actually deletes the original. This was the only way I could force kmail
to put new emails on disk. I had to copy all of my OLD content to newly created
folders in order to force kmail to store my email archive on disk so I can back
it up in a format I understand and can manipulate to my satisfaction.
Note to core developers: I'm guessing your intent was to migrate kmail's
storage scheme from the traditional Maildir format to the new nepomuk/akonadi
database format. in my humble opinion, this is a step in the wrong direction
for more than one reason: 1) corruption of a single bit in the database file
would destroy the entire email store. 2) the new format is not compatible with
anything else, and as far as I have been able to discover has no tools with
which I can create ANY backup whatsoever of the email archive. If i can't store
my emails on disk (maildir) and cannot backup my archive with a cron script and
I cannot even export my archive to a format usable by other email
programs..............? I'm terrified that my next kmail issue will be the end
of my email archive which, believe it or not, contains over seven years of
email.
