Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

    * What led up to the situation?
I'm running Jessie and performed my daily aptitude full-upgrade. When I
rebooted my system, the kmail migration tool started. I told it to upgrade
but when kontact started there was no data showing. My calendar and
contacts lists are empty.

    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I tried re-running the kmail-migrator --interactive but it
said it had already been run and refused to run again.

    * What was the outcome of this action?
I still don't have my calendar or contact information.

    * What outcome did you expect instead?
I want kontact to show my calendar and contact information.
Hi Gary! First of all, let me tell you I'm by no means a KMail expert. So most
of I could suggest/ask here comes from asking other people.

I would like to know where was your data stored. Was it in your hard drive or
in a Kolab server?

Just for the record, when I did the migration some months ago I didn't had
that problem, so it might be a special setup here.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.

I have no special setup. All my data is presumably stored in the default locations for each item. For example, I note that when I try to import a backup copy of std.ics, std.ics gets larger but I still don't have any entries showing in my calendar.

The location seems to be identified in ~/.kde/share/config/kresources/calendar/stdrc as CalendarURL[$e]=file://$HOME/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics

I'm not sure where my contact list is stored but I haven't changed the default. The stdrc file for contact doesn't list a location.

So far as kmail goes, I don't use it. However it seems to be what was responsible for migrating my data to the new version of kontact.
