I have dovecot with with mailboxes in mbox format and when I need to move one I do the following service dovecot stop mv ~/Mail/srcdir/mymailbox ~/Mail/destdir/. cd ~/Mail/srcdir/.imap rm -rf mymailbox/ the last two steps is to delete the indexes maintainned by dovecot at the old location of mymailbox if the dir ~/Mail/destdir/.imap don't exists create it vim ~/Mail/.subscriptions and change the srcdir to the destdir where apropiate service dovecot start maybe you can make a test maildir mailbox and test moving it > > b) If I then want to read the old email in ~/Archive/ > how can I do this with KMail? I don't use kmail but I think which it will read mailboxes from the .subscriptions file Gabriel _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
