Hi Jurian,

I'm very new to Linux, so wouldn't know how to do a symlink, but also wouldn't 
want to cause KMail to crash or similar (as the path may be hard coded). I 
saw something in the KMail docs about ~/Mail path, but read it later, and it 
was for earlier versions.

I guess because all the rest of my data is in ~/Documents , and so I expected 
to find the data for the mail easily. It's just something I'll have to get 
used to, to go to  ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail path , as I'm checking some 
coversions of Pegasus Mail folders.

Thanks,

Peter
