KDE 3.5.1 and kmail-filters

Hi,
I upgraded to kde 3.5.1 and had to create a new profile as the migration created issues.
In kmail I had quite a lot of filters but I am not able to import them. I tried to manually cp them into the kmailrc file but it ignores them.

Any whay to avoid creating them?

Also, is it possible to treat kmail independently from kde environment? I mean, is it possible to run kde 3.1.1 with kmail latest release?

Thank you,
Spiro

Did you place those filter in kmailrc while KMail/Kontact was not running? That's really important.

You may want to post this in kdepim-users@kde.org instead, since there are few KMail developers that read this forum.

No, KMail from KDE 3.5 depends on kdelibs of at least 3.4.

Yes, I did place those filters in kmailrd while kmail was not started.
I also emailed kdepim-users@kde.org.

thanks

Ah, I found the problem.

Paste all your filters in the kmailrc and then, look for the line

Source code

1
filters=0
in the General section. Set this number to the number of filters you've imported.

Great! It worked.

Is acts as counter and determines how many filters to display. I wonder how come it is structured this way.

Thank you for your solution. It is now solved.

You should've read eetbeest's comment about that: it requires KDE 3.4 or higher.

well, I assume it is time to admit I forgot about that reply.

You are correct. The question was already answered. Sorry for my mistake.

Thank you thou for your help. It allowed me to resume my kmail activities.
