Description Christian C 2018-06-25 18:04:14 CEST
Description of problem:
After running pimsettingexporter to restore a kmail configuration and data from mga-5, pimsettingexporter does not recreate the old configuration but a series of cryptic folders and accounts unusable.
In addition, it asks questions that could not be answered about IDENTITY_xxxxxxxxxx, displays continuously error messages about login failed.

Finally, the desktop becomes invaded by error windows every seconds and unusable.

could you tell me how to retrieve my old kmail configuration please ?

Comment 1 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-16 17:33:44 CEST
Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan 
to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to 
a later Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we 
weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to 
reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click 
on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent
Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them
obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
