Post # 248032
 Migration of Kmail from Mepis 6.5 to Mepis 8.0I am very pleased with the ease at which I was able to get Mepis up and running compared to earlier versions of Mepis. I would like to port my email from the Mepis 6.5 machine to my new machine running Mepis 8.0.
I thought I could simply copy the home/mail folder over to the new machine, but only the folders transferred. It also appears I will have to set up my email addresses again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

Found the Answer Mail import will not accept anything but local files. So... I burned a cd of the mail directory on the old box and imported the mail directory from the CD on the new box. The address book was an easy export as an ldif file to a shared directory on the new machine.
I'll just have to re create my email addresses and be up and running. |
