Based on your instructions, I managed to get the mails synchronized (again ;-)
between two computers.
o The laptop pc-2 was set up from scratch, its home directory was barely
populated when I ran the sync with unison for the first time => I don't know
how this might work out if the account has been heavily used on both computers
before, in particular due to the kmail-migrator, kres-migrator and -firstrun
scripts.
o The following problems appeared and still need a solution:
(1) Search does not work anymore on the laptop pc-2. No matter what I search
for: no matching entries are found. => How to get this running again?
(2) The mail filters are not transferred. I ended up exporting them on pc-1 and
importing them manually on pc-2. => In what file are they? I want future
changes to the filters to propagate automagically :-/
Here are the relevant parts of my unison profile to synchronise laptop (pc-2)
and home PC (pc-1). unison has to be invoked on the laptop:
