Just postulating because no one else has responded -- maybe kmail5 can't read maildirs directly but somehow have to be input to or recognized by Akonadi? . How does Akonadi get into this? Shouldn't it be as easy as putting the older kmailrc, someplace where the new kmail can find it? IOW, what is the path now where kmailrc is stored? Thanks, rhkramer I installled one last akonadi gizmo, and that finally gave me a menu to import old kmail stuff, so its working on that now. I'd estimate about an hour. --=-3E3B8NO69ELz8hu/BEmIZw== Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Id:
