I know this has come up before, but I have been unable to find any info 
searching the forums.  

I have KMail email on a lap top that I want to move to my desktop.  I created 
a "temp" directory in KMail on the laptop and then copied all the mail from 
the other folders into this temp folder.  After closing KMail, I then went to 
my home>mail folder and copied the temp directory to a cdrom disc.  I also 
took with this directory the corresponding .index files.  So far I've tried 
these methods - all gave me the same results on the desktop PC.

Copied the temp directory from the cd to ./mail directory - on launching KMail 
the directory appears and on opening the directory all the mail appears to be 
there - but when I click on any of the entries I get a blank mail with 
"subject=no subject", "sender=unknown" and date=01.01.1970" - the size does 
not alter.

I've tried many variations on this theme, including creating the same 
directory in KMail itself and then doing the copy - same result.

Deleting the .index files - same result

Just copying the new temp directory into the ./mail directory with and without 
the index files - same result.

The only difference between the two PCs is that the laptop (from machine) is 
running KMail 1.5.4 using KDE 3.1.4 and the desk top (to machine) is running 
KMail 1.6 using KDE 3.2 RC1.  I am using KMail inside Kontact.

I'm sure there must be a way????  If some one could give a blow by account I'd 
be very grateful.

Help appreciated

Michael
