Titel: migrate to siduction : only mails / icedove prob
Beitrag von: rueX in 2014/02/03, 12:51:55
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

rue with no road

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.
