Hi,
I started with a clean config, so I can't say much about migration. But it
still is far from flawless.
Creating new imap accounts with identities is really a pain. The account
wizard should be in the settings, not in "Tools". I created three imap
accounts with corresponding Identities by hand before I found it. And even
with the account wizzard, you have to set the folders for "sent",
"drafts"
and "trash" manually.
Hi,
Have you ever looked into kmail2rc? I have 44 folder entries in there for 17
real folders in kmail2. Not really funny and this can't be good IMHO.

At the beginning I got errors about the "Local Folders".
They only stopped
after I removed the Akonadi ressource and restarted everything. The
ressource was added again automatically, but the one test message I put in
there was lost in the process. I hope the same thing does not also happen
during a migration with real mail in the folders.
Now to the things that still don't work properly:
* I can't get Kmail2 to check for new mails on start, although I have
selected it in the options. I still have to wait for the regular check
intervall to pass.
* Sometimes mails I have read on an imap account become unread again (or
even undeleted) after the next mail check. I have to manually mark the mail
as read again afterwards.
* Sometimes I can not read mails for an account and I get a message like
"can not fetch mail in offline mode". I don't know why it thiks I'm
offline, but it works again after selecting "Work Offline" and "Work
Online" in "File".
* "Allow this time" for kdewallet is no longer feasible. kmail1 asked one
time on start, with kmail2 I now get one dialog per account.
I think I'll give reverting to kmail1 (using my old kmail1 config) a try.
Regards,
Lukas
