Re: [gentoo-user] a "duh" kde question
As well as kmailrc you need to copy across the files from .kde/share/apps/kmail This will give you all of your folders, network settings, accounts an so on.

Re: [gentoo-user] a "duh" kde question
IIRC, check for a directory called Mail under your home directory. I believe that's where the rest of the stuff is. Also poke around in ~./kde?. I am not at a KDE machine now but there were two folders. One had the rc, the other had a Kmail folder and stuff Kmail needs. If you can't find it email me and I'll check when I get to the machine.

Re: [gentoo-user] a "duh" kde question
what i would do is set up the machine yah currently have with nis/nfs and mount nfs homedirs, this also makes it so yah dun have to have all different password files, etc. that is what i do anyways, i did this back when i was first building my home network and it has saved my ass repetedly, i have a lil p2 with a scsi card and a few 20G hd's that is my file server(nfs,samba)/nis server, i never even touch the thing. -- Nicholas Hockey (Tilt) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Unix Administrator Encrypted E-Mail is preferred..

Re: [gentoo-user] a "duh" kde question
Yes, under .kde2 (or whatever it is now) find the folders under share/config and share/apps. You'll find kmail rc files and also the mail folder. These can be copied. I'd suggest starting Kmail on the new box, then closing it and bringing the old folders over.
