When I upgraded the first laptop to 11.10 kmail’s files needed to me migrated to the new version 4.7.2 of kmail. The migration failed, when it fails you get an error message saying that you can run “kmail-migrator –interactive” to fix this. How ever this doesn’t work. To get this to work follow the steps below:
- Back-up the original kmail files/folders:
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail
~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer
~/.kde/share/apps/kabc - Remove the following files:
~/.kde/share/config/kmail-migratorrc
~/.kde/share/config/kmail2rc - Then run: kmail-migrator –interactive which you can do in terminal or by hitting alt->f2
That is it, the migration should now run and finish like planed.
