Hi,

Thanks for that, but I have read that earlier and:

1) The first part of that FAQ assumes that you WANT to use mbox with
Evolution. It says "If your KMail folders are set to MBox," ... But I
would prefer maildir over mbox.

2) The second part of that FAQ also says "If your KMail folders are
set to Maildir, set up a mail account in Evolution (a bogus account)
and select server type as maildir and point to the appropriate
folders" ... which is what I have done.

Also, I have tried to view "deleted" mail and nothing is still shown.

3) The third part of the FAQ that says "'You can also find a script
for exporting mail from kmail to Evolution .. blah .." is also a
script to convert from maildir to mbox.

Is there a way to keep on using maildir ?

Thanks.
