Today I decided to drop off of gmail, because of Google's alliance with Facebook to censor their postings for "hate" speech.
So, I fired up KMail and connected it to my ISP, neb.rr.com. Connected beautifully and a test msg came back in good order.
I went to my gmail account and exported all 1,592 emails as a single 192MB MBOX file, and the 120 contacts as a vcard file.
I used Kmail's import feature to load the emails into a new folder, Old_gmail, and the vcard file into the addressbook. Went perfectly.
KMail crashed twice while initially setting it up but nothing was lost. I browsed the 1,592 emails and all were perfect. I edited the 120 contacts and got the address book in tiptop shape.
I used to use Kmail exclusively but switched to gmail in 2008, if my email dates are any indication. I know I haven't used KMail since 2012, when I moved to Kubuntu 12.04.
My new email address is greygeek77@neb.rr.com
