Summary: no Mail file in user directory, but KMail works
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: lrzodm earthlink net
Version: 1.9.6 (enterprise 20070904.708012) (using 3.5.7 "release
72.6" , openSUSE 10.3)
Compiler: Target: x86_64-suse-linux
OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.17-0.1-default
I recently upgraded from SuSE 9.3 to openSuSE 10.3 on two different computers.
I copied the Mail file from my old installation (renamed it old_Mail) to my new
user account (I had to replace the disk), fired up kmail and used the Import
feature in the File menu. Not everything worked as I expected, but I
ultimately got a working setup and access to all my old mail, all located in a
Mail file in my home directory that I did not create. However, in the
meantime, I had set up kmail on another machine where the operating system
upgrade occurred first, and had been receiving mail there . When I went to
that system to copy the Mail file over to the system I now had a running kmail
on and import it suitably renamed, I could find no Mail file in my home
directory. Only after reading the bug reports did I see that there had been
requests to hide the Mail file. I did find it in .kde/share/apps/kmail, but
this behavior is not consistent with what happened on the other machine, where
no such file exists. What is going on here? What is the defaullt behavior on
first invocation of kmail? Use a Mail file if it exists? Otherwise create a
hidden mail file? The Import documentation assumes a Mail file exists. I
didn't create one, but one existed after I imported.
