Baron, I believe it can be done by *moderately* simple file transfer, with one small complication. What I do is copy these files from my home directory: tar cvfW �apkmail.tar �.trinity/share/apps/kmail/ tar cvfW configs.tar �.trinity/share/config/kmail* � .trinity/share/config/email* �.trinity/share/config/kaddress* � .trinity/share/config/kwallet* and then install them on the new drive/partition: tar -xv --overwrite --totals �--file=configs.tar tar -xv --overwrite --totals �--file=apkmail.tar This works just fine and Kmail will send or receive emails without asking for a password because the passwords are in ~.trinity/share/config/kmailrc (munged, not plain text). *However* if this is a first run of Kmail it will ask for passwords after a reboot. What I do then is repeat: tar -xv --overwrite --totals �--file=configs.tar and it works fine thereafter. I think. I'm still working this out, but it seems to work. I do it so seldom I have not bothered to hunt down the problems, but always meant to. Your post motivated me to try again. Let me know if it works for you. Andy
