Right, in a fit of alcohol induced madness I have decided that after about 5 years of computing with SuSE I should give something else a try.
I had a Ubuntu Virtual Machine running for a bit and was pretty impressed with it so I thought (again remember here I had been drinking) why not just nuke / (leaving /home intact) and install it.
So far most things seem to be working quite well, there is however one slight gotcha.
For some reason kmail on SuSE seemed to be saving my messages in two formats.
Inbox and a few others are a single large file that Evolution seems quite happy importing. But some other folders (including my ALUG folder and more importantly my "Sent Items" are in a format whereby each message is an individual file in a folder called "Sent-Items" and then within that I have "cur" "new" and "tmp" The Messages are all in "cur" presumably because they are read, the filename is composed of some random looking number like "1032089908.1918.F3H0:2,S"
That's IMAP...
How do I import these messages, Evolution lets me select a single one in the import file dialogue, but I can't select them all.
I reckon you need to set up an IMAP account in evolution, pointing to the IMAP on the SuSE box, and drag and drop them across. You'll need to create the folders first, I suspect.
