KMail2 problems
Mark Fraser
I've finally upgraded one of my computers from Kubuntu 11.04 to Kubuntu 11.10 with KDE 4.8.1. I've archived all my emails from KMail1 and tried to import them into KMail2, but nothing is working properly. Some times I'll do an import only to find no emails when I reload KMail2, other times I'll move emails around when KMail quits and then I've lost those emails.
What directories/files do I need to delete for KMail2 and Akonadi to be back to how a new install would leave things?

From <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes>:
| Kmail migration fails (857828). You will need to delete your
| ~/.kde/share/config/kmail-migratorrc file, and run the migrator
| manually - kmail-migrator --interactive or skip the migration tool and
| reconfigure Kmail from scratch.

I've tried that and it didn't work. I want to get rid of everything related to KMail2 so that it reconfigures everything when it is run again.

There are sooo many files related to kmail2 ...
I can't tell you exactly which files you should remove, but here are
some pointers where the files might be: Have a look at
"~/.kde/share/apps/". There are probably (I have only 12.04 to check)
directories "kmail2" and "kmail-migrator". Then there are files in
"~/.kde/share/config/" with "mail" in the name. On my 10.04 system (with
kmail1) there are these:
emaildefaults emailidentities kmail.eventsrc kmail.notifyrc kmailrc
kmailsnippetrc mailtransports specialmailcollectionsrc
Everything else you find with "mail" in the name is probably from
kmail2. Finally there are files in "~/.local/share/" related to akonadi,
but I don't know if they are only used for kmail2.
