The way the standard migration process works is to make the old dimap cache accessible as its own resource. E.g. I have the contents of my dimap cache in KMail under the name of "Disconnected IMAP"-Zwischenspeicher des vorigen KMails I think the rational is that mail in there might not be accessible through IMAP anymore, e.g. account no longer working. The resource adapter approach allows to still do that or alternatively delete it from within a mail interface such as KMail. I.e. "no longer needed" depends on the user's setup. Cheers, Kevin
