Hi -

I have a persistent problem with migration of kmail 4.4 to the new akonadi based kmail. 
I end up with the dialogue that kmail found an unusable configuration and will terminate 
now. But from the start (sorry, the following is a bit long):

In order to test the new kmail and protect myself against losses, I copied my the directory
 holding my mail from my stable desktop machine to my "running on the edge laptop"  
together with the kmail configuration files (where I adjusted the mail location). 
On this laptop, the configuration is

++++
opensuse 11.4 tumbleweed/KUSC repositories
kdelibs 4.6.80-6.7
akonadi 4.6.0
akonadi-runtime  1.5.0.60git.1304763160-1.1
kmail 4.6.0-2.1
++++

The mail is stored under ~/Mail, since I run KDE from ye olde times  and I like 
to keep my mail separate from the config files, i.e. I never migrated to the dotfiles. 
In the KDE4.4 config email from a pop3 account goes there. 
Next I delete all config files from akonadi and kmail2 configs, i.e.

+++
rm $HOME/.config/akonadi/*
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/
rm $HOME/.kde4/share/config/akonadi*
echo "Removing kmail2 directories & config"
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/.local-mail.directory/
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/local-mail
rm -f $HOME/.kde4/share/config/kmail2rc
rm -f $HOME/.kde4/share/config/kmail-migratorrc
rm -rf $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kmail2rc
+++

Now running kmail the migrator starts. It runs, and I have the pop3 account migrated 
and also the Mail folders.  At the end it says, migration was successful, but during 
migration it complains afew times with the message

++++
akonadi_mixedmaildir_resource_0(14055)/akonadiresource (maildir): "No usable storage location configured
++++
Closing the migrator window, kmail starts and says

++++
kmail2(13941) MailCommon::Kernel::emergencyExit: "KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now.
The error was:
You do not have read/write permission to your inbox folder." 
++++

and 

++++
akonadi_mixedmaildir_resource_0(14055)/akonadiresource (maildir): "Folder /home/xxx/Mail/outbox does not seem to be a valid email folder" 
akonadi_mixedmaildir_resource_0(14055)/akonadiresource (maildir): "Folder /home/xxx/Mail/inbox does not seem to be a valid email folder" collection: Collection ID: 
10    remote ID: "inbox" 
++++

As an altyernative, I removed the whole config and tried to confgure a "Kmail Folders" 
resource. But when I point it to ~/Mail, it says that there is no cur/ directory and the 
configuration is not usable. 

So at the moment I cannot use the new kmail. Any ideas? Could the problem be that my 
mail folders are really from the yore times KDE 1 or 2 the latest? If so, how can I solve it?
I captured all the konsole message from kmail and could send them if needed.

Thnx for reading to the end
