Maybe I can help with that part --- I have done fresh install of F16 only yesterday, and had to solve the problem of migrating my old mail from KMail1 to KMail2. Of course, I tried to do it the wrong way, and after some struggling I found out about Akonadi resources etc... Open systemsettings -> Akonadi Configuration. On the "Akonadi resources configuration" tab (the first one), you will find various "resources" listed. One of them should be called "Local Folders" and have an envelope-like icon on the left, indicating that it's about e-mails. If you select it and click "modify" button on the far right, a window will pop up with the information about the actual directory in the filesystem that corresponds to that "resource". You can also click on "remove" which will (I guess) delete the resource (which is what you are trying to do), but be sure to *BACKUP* the above directory first, since I am not sure if deleting the "resource" is also going to delete any actual data on the disk, in addition to the database entry (it's an internal mysql database for everything related to KDE4 --- configured in the other tab). Maybe it would be a good idea to keep KMail closed during the operation, and maybe also restart KDE (for good measure) before firing up KMail again. If all goes well, your problem should dissapear, according to that guy who posted the advice you quoted. OTOH, I didn't have that problem in the first place, so I'm just guessing here. The way I found out about those "resources" was that I had trouble pointing KMail2 to use my custom mail folder instead of its default. There is basically no way to do that, short of going into the Akonadi configuration and pointing the appropriate "resource" to my mail directory. Once I did that, everything Just Worked... ;-) HTH, :-) Marko _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
