[kdepim-users] Copy k-mail messages to another computer

[Ian Bennett]

Gerben,
	Sounds like a permissions problem to me. If your external device does not 
automount, you will more than likely need to be root to mount it and unless 
you change the permissions, you will need to be root to write to it.
	Not a big problem, however you will need to "chown" your .kde directory to 
your user name once you have copied it back.
	Just had another thought; are you using the -r (recursive) switch to cp??
