           Summary: Kmail2 should offer better backup and restore feature.

           Version: 4.10.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR

I think kmail2 needs to have proper full backup and restore feature. I have
~10GB mailbox. I normally use disconnected IMAP account. It takes too long to
download all mails first time kmail2 is setup. And during this process, its not
properly usable so I prefer to use after all mails downloaded. However this
presents a big challenge. When I have to move to other OS or new version of OS,
I need to backup and restore my mails, calendars, etc.. However kmail2
currently just backs up settings and akonadi database, not the actual mails. So
new setup will again take a long time. If it does a full backup and restore
like evolution or thunderbird, it will be much easier to manage.

Reproducible: Always
