*** Bug 42417 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
------ Original Bug Text: ------
Description of problem:
Now that kde 4.1 is going to be used as default desktop, I think that previous kde 3 applications users settings should be imported in the KDE 4 application. Users are not expecting to have to reconfigure all of their application and eventually lose their mail history.
So IMHO, kmail at first start should check if there are some settings in ~/.kde3, and if it's the first time kde4 kmail is launched, it should import the settings from ~/.kde3. This way the user will have a directly working email client. This is important for example when doing migration in an enterprise, or else the sysadmin will have to reconfigure all the workstations.
It's seems that someone is working on some migration script. This could be a beginning for the implementation under Mandriva :
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KDE3TO4?content=86302Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdepim4-4.1.0-1mdv2009.0
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use kde3 from 2008.x
2. Migrate to 2009.0 and install kde4
3. All applications settings are reset.
