What do they smoke over at KDE Central? Cuban cigars, I recon because they go well with the Cuban rum they are drinking over there as well. Fortunately nobody at KDEPIM Central smokes, though it is rumored that they occasionally drink beer. The migration tool has worked quite well on my setup, though I always run it manually, i.e. not indirectly through starting KMail. Seems to depend on quite some variables though, e.g. config options used, etc. Unfortunately work on a much more flexible importer (as in support for pause/resume/rerun, etc) has not moved forward as anticipated due to resource constraints. > > Thus the recommended procedure as far as I am aware of is to > > recreate mail accounts and reimport mail from IMAP server or POP3 mail > > directory.

Size of ~/Mail is mostly irrelevant, it is more a question of per-folder and per-message meta data, e.g. tags on messages, folder specific config options, etc. > Add to this the quite braindama^W questionable idea to move not only > metadata stuff but the complete maildir to akonadi, and *I* will be out of > the game, for sure. Good thing then that idea has never occured to the respective developers. Cheers, Kevin
