Does anybody knows how to move mail from opera winXP to opera fedora.
What I did:
I copied the dir from winXP
Documentsandsettings/mylogin/applicationdata/opera/mail
to
fedora
/home/mylogin/.opera/mail
But this does not work.
opera fed : ver 9.02
opera winxp: ver 9.02
I don't know about Opera 9, but Opera 6&&7 used the mbox format for
storing mail (yes, on windows!). You should be able to copy those.
Check that there are no subfolders for config files and whatnot- you
may be actually copying the mail but the client doesn't know to
associate it with any account.
The mbox works, but then you need to have a working windows partition,
because you have to click on every item of your mailbox(=sent, inbox, aso)
to save it in mbox format.
My mswindow partition reboots all the time, but I can get the mail copied
from the linux partition. I copied the mail dir to another opera
installation, without result.
Maybe the copy was corrupt?
