jeanackle Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Actually, as of now, I'd settle with full maildir interoperability, That is between balsa's maildir and Kmail's maildir... :? The thing is, Kmail won't read my balsa's maildir sub-directories. Just the top-level ones. How can I fix this? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanackle Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 (edited) Hi, I'm just posting to bring this annoying question up again :P I'd still like to use my Balsa's (filled) maildir structure in Kmail (and possibly back again).

jeanackle Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 OK, I know this question has kept you from sleeping for many nights now :P , so i'l give u the answer we got in another board... B) 1. Copy your Balsa's "mail" directory to the new (or existing) Kmail's "Mail" directory (I think you can change the names for both of them, you know the drill...) 2. If you run Kmail with your recently copied dir, it will automatically create a ".<dir-name>.index", a ".<dir-name>.index.ids" and a ".<dir-name>.index.sorted" file for each top-level directory in your maildir tree. So just forget about this. 3. It (Kmail) may or may not also create a hidden version for each of your dirs ( you'll get a ".<dir-name>" dir for a given "<dir-name>" ). The problem is: they'll be empty. Copy the original dir's contents to the the new hidden dirs and voilá! It's done! Notes: 1- What do you need two copies of each top-level dir for? I don't know. Ask the Kmail's developpers or somthing :P Actually, that's it: do you need them? Or can u link them together? Or maybe empty the first one (u must keep it though)? I haven't tried that yet... 2- This was done with Balsa 2.0.13 and Kmail 1.5.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
