hi there,
since months - i want to migrate to siduction,
but only my "important" mails (files: sent and receiving ca. 2 years-big) in icedove are the only reason - not to do that.
Is it possible to copy all .icedove - files on stick or DVD ( ca. 2GB )
To paste it on fresh-installed-siduction ??
Or is more to do ? To handle with this old mails ?
best wishes

Did you try to import the profile folder with those cryptic name in your old .icedove/ folder?
Did you try to use import features of icedove?
Did you try to just plainly copy over the complete .icedove/ folder (, which i always do)?
It should be no problem to copy your mails from one icedove to another. I sometimes copy a Windows Thunderbird profiles /Mail -subfolder into an icedove /Mail -subfolder and have access to all archived messages.
You can test it without corrupting your mails: copy the ~/.icedove/profilenamehere/Mail subfolder and its subsubfolders to a stick, boot a livesystem, install icedove in livesystem, copy from stick to /home/siducer/.icedove/profilenamehere/Mail and open icedove to see if all your mails are there. If so, it should work as well in a real install.
hey in echt jetzt, krass !
