Hi, I started with a clean config, so I can't say much about migration. But it still is far from flawless. Creating new imap accounts with identities is really a pain. The account wizard should be in the settings, not in "Tools". I created three imap accounts with corresponding Identities by hand before I found it. And even with the account wizzard, you have to set the folders for "sent", "drafts" and "trash" manually. At the beginning I got errors about the "Local Folders". They only stopped after I removed the Akonadi ressource and restarted everything. The ressource was added again automatically, but the one test message I put in there was lost in the process. I hope the same thing does not also happen during a migration with real mail in the folders. Now to the things that still don't work properly: * I can't get Kmail2 to check for new mails on start, although I have selected it in the options. I still have to wait for the regular check intervall to pass. * Sometimes mails I have read on an imap account become unread again (or even undeleted) after the next mail check. I have to manually mark the mail as read again afterwards. * Sometimes I can not read mails for an account and I get a message like "can not fetch mail in offline mode". I don't know why it thiks I'm offline, but it works again after selecting "Work Offline" and "Work Online" in "File". * "Allow this time" for kdewallet is no longer feasible. kmail1 asked one time on start, with kmail2 I now get one dialog per account. I think I'll give reverting to kmail1 (using my old kmail1 config) a try.
