I'm resposting this query, since I have had no reply, and on reflection my subject heading might have been misleading (for which I apologize). I had previously posted this as: "HOWTO import kmail content into Evolution? (request for help)" After doing a google search, I came up with this result: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/users/2002-March/003449.html Following what was outlined on that post: 1) Import a single file with File type, "automatic". Selected the *destination* e.g. /home/elton/Mail/inbox 2) Evolution complains "There is no importer that is able to handle /home/elton/Mail" Yet according to the information from google, this procedure should work. I note the original post is dated March, 2002. Perhaps something has changed in Evolution or Kmail? Versions (on my system): kmail 1.5.4, evolution 1.4.5 ... some pointers would be appreciated, Elton -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/team/team_4504.html "You only live once: let's make life BETTER for each other."
