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. I've done this successfully several times and without problems So far, I've copied the kmailrc file to the new box. I can send and receive mail but my folders and filters aren't there. I've looked around but can't find anything that looks like a fix. There must be another file but I need help to find it. Perhaps there is a config option that I'm missing? I haven't copied the email as yet from /home/[user]/mail. Could this be the problem? I figured that I shouldn't copy the mail until the folders were set up. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

These can be copied. I'd suggest starting Kmail on the new box, then closing it and bringing the old folders over.

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..
