There is a bit of a problem there at least on suse. If I do a new installation
which I have done before suse sticks all of the old stuff in a volume called
data1. No problem with no change to the mail format because I just copy the
contents of a few directories into the new installation.
>From what I can remember about the complaints about the new release one was
that the accounts details had to be entered again and the that the mail
couldn't simpley be copied across. I'm running kde 3.1.4 and kmail 1.5.4. I'm
not sure which release bought this about. 3.3? If I can simpley copy them
across if they are all just in the inbox then I'll put all 1,161 (growing) of
them in it before I upgrade but then I will really wish that there was a
title search facility. That might not be a bad idea in any case.

John
