GioLi_3587 : 30/05/04 12:58 PM : Incident created -   I would like make backup regurarly of my e-mail. In KMail I found the "import" feature but not the "export" possibility. Is there a way to save e-mail and reimport it later, for example after a new installation or a crash?
Linegod_7611 : 30/05/04 04:43 PM : Reply received -   If you backup '/home/username/.Mail' all of your mail will be backed up. Backup '/home/pasnak/.kde/share/config/kmailrc' as well, and all your folders/accounts for KMail will be backed up as well. As a side note, I recommend that '/home' is given its own partition, so you can reinstall/upgrade without worries. -------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
