migrating from kmail to thunderbird

While I gave up local mails and subordinated entirely to google meanwhile, my partner still wants to be independant and prefers local mails. Since KMail seemst to be wrecked, I have to migrate her mails to the old mbox format of thunderbird. This one-command-recipe worked for me. I replaced Archive/ by e.g. .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox and sarchive by sMBOXinbox . To import  MBOXinbox they simply have to be copied to   ~/.thunderbird/.....default/Mail/Local\ Folders . Converting Maildir to mbox via mutt Ran into an issue today where I needed to convert a Maildir containing over 50k messages to mbox format and couldn’t really find any good tools.

Unfortunately, it converted one Maildir to another. =( One crucial piece is missing, so here is the one-liner in all its glory: $ mutt -f Archive/ -e 'set mbox_type=mbox; set confirmcreate=no; \ set delete=no; push "T.* ;sarchive "' The above convert...

Systembackup using dpkg and dselect

Systembackup by integr8e As a result of many reinstallations, I've begun developing a method that quickly allows me to restore my new installation to the setup of my old one. As such, I decided to share my knowledge: -> MAKE A LIST - To create an easily restoreable list of all installed software on your system (from the repos), open Konsole and enter the following command: dpkg --get-selections | grep [^de]install$ > installed-software.txt - That will create an entry in your "/home//" directory entitled "installed-software.txt" ( is your username). -> [u]BACKUP - Backup all your important files to an external storage device (hard drive / flash disk); you may wish to backup your "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and "/etc/apt/sources.list" configs. If you have the Medibuntu/Wine repo(s), you'll need to additionally backup your "/etc/apt/sources.list.d" directory. For an excellent guide on backing up using the...
