Move Email Archives to a New Account
Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook can move messages from one IMAP account to another. Just drag and drop! But Gmail makes it a bit more complicated.

I've been using #KMail for years, but as part of the larger #Kontact app (which gives you Outlook like functionality (contacts, calendar & more)). The interface has not changed over the years.
The idea of identities been different to the accounts allows you to (for example) separate work and personal. For example with each identity you can set up a different signature, and which email address / SMTP server it uses. However the setup for this does need work and is initially confusing for new users.
Note I recently tried #Thunderbird and hated it - I use keyboard short-cuts and TB's were browser-based and not email based (eg CTRL-R / CTRL-U for mark read / unread). I found no way of changing them while being #KDE, that is always an option in #Kmail.
Just curious, does anybody use #KDE #Kmail?
I'm just toying around with the idea of switching my work machine from Debian to KDE Neon to get super-up-to-date KDE programs, and I wonder how usable KMail would be as an alternative to #Thunderbird (which I still really like).

Ah ben moi ça fait des années que je suis sur le 2€ #freemobile avec un #smartphone. J'ai du wifi ou je demande aux proches de partager leur 4G... et pour le reste du temps, les 50 Mo me suffisent pour aller chercher mes entêtes d'emails et en lire qqs uns avec #kmail, l'appli #citiz, et éventuellement un transfert avec #wise.
A noter : quand on va à l'étranger, on a droit à 50 Mo de plus !
Et pour limiter les apps, sur mon vieil Android 6 il suffisait d'être en mode "data saving".
Yesterday I started the #mail #migration using #KMail #import tool and targeting #thunderbird profile folder.
Please note that I use Thunderbird since 15 years as my favorite mail client, and I used to have 5 or 6 accounts (plus my daugthers' accounts for school). So the amount of emails to migrate, even though I'm convinced that only the essential was left, was huge... ~92 GiB!!!
Now... I feel I need to reboot my #Debian, that looks a bit unstable after 1 full day spent crawling and indexing old emails... and then start Kmail... wish me good luck!
Migrating mail client from #thunderbird to #kmail
I have to say that kmail looks much more reactive, and I absolutely love the plain text rendering it does for HTML messages.
I just need to figure out how to move old mail archives.
Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't seem to get #KMail to work correctly. I have an IMAP server that pulls in mail from a couple outside hosts with `fetchmail`. It has a main inbox and several subfolders. I can get the subfolders to show up in KMail, but it refuses to download anything from the main inbox.
Any advice on how to make this work, or does KMail just not do that?
@lunkki #Tuta-tili on nyt luotu. Uutta sähköpostia en tosin olisi tarvinnut, oma osoitteeni on ollut jo parikymmentä vuotta webhotellissa (joka on pariin kertaan vaihtunut).
Tuta tarjoaa sovelluksen #Android'iin ja jonkinlaisen (#AppImage'na pyörivän) myös #Linux'iin. Jälkimmäinen arveluttaa, mutta kokeillaan. Kytkemisestä käytössä oleviin ohjelmiin (#KMail, #Kontact tai vaikka #Vivaldi) ei ilmeisesti kannata uneksia.

@opensuse sono nuovo e sto cercando di crearmi un ecosistema digitale europeo ma, per rimanere con voi di #opensuse ho dovuto scegliere la #tumbleweed a causa di servizi non compatibili con le versioni delle applicazione presenti nella #leap. Il più eclatante è la compatibilità tra #microsoftoutlook e #kmail.
So far, #thunderbird seems to be the best email client in Linux. Tried #kmail, #geary and even #aerc, but @thunderbird is the easiest and with better looks

¿alguien usa #Kmail ? Como carajo se pone un theme dark? Baje desde los repos y nada
He escrito una cosa acerca de configurar #KMail para escribir las respuestas por encima del mensaje a responder.
A mayores, cosas acerca de software libre y diseño de producto. Y respuestas pedantes.

#homemanager cannot configure #kmail ... So which #email client should I go to?
back to #notmuch? My 20k+ mails that have not been tagged yet would (I assume) take me days to tag. Still worth it I guess...?
