you're misunderstanding - this was my second migration, the one I was
complaining about a few posts back in this thread - the only messages
that came across were the ones that were unread in my original folders,
a few hundred messages at most - I lost over 20 thousand - KMail has
lost its lustre for me at this point - with all these bugs, and the
sluggishness, it's a shadow of its former self - hopefully, they'll get
it all straightened out eventually - Thunderbird has its own share of
problems these days, too
The problem is that KMail has some features that I rely on, and TBird doesn't
have them. In particular I miss the ability to associate an identity with a
folder (essential for mailing list handling: I got many moderation messages
when using TBird) and the much better handling of expiry of messages.
