Hope this one reaches its destination. Thunderbird is giving me grief
with my multiple identities and different email addresses ... :-(

@list admin: sorry for the inconvenience, wasn't intended.

I've been through similar tortures when upgrading Ubuntu to Oneiric. The
culprit is not the distribution (I dread SuSE, but in this case they're
just "riding out" the KDE flaw). The problem is (A) the kmail -> kmail2
migration tool which errors out, and (B) shortcomings in the
functionality of managing resources with kmail2/akonadi. I've had to
suffer email losses (well, they're backed up, but in the process it lost
mail in the current setup), which sucks big time. I've tried several
approaches to hand-migrate, which worked, but in the end also caused
other troubles with all of a sudden mail duplication (and huge increases
in mail size in the duplicates), mail loss, and other annoyances.

Below you'll find some URLs to stuff that helped me do the job and
understand the problem. However, as stated, I've given up on the current
kmail(2) and am using Thunderbird until things are going to be better.
I've heard from other sources that the upcoming KDE 4.8 is also not
supposed to have any improvements in stock for the kmail/akonadi issue
=2E.. :(
