migrating mail account to another machine in kde 4.2

[heinkel_111]

I have two computers, a laptop and a desktop workstation. Both run kubuntu, and there is a huge overlap in what I use the two computers for.

Up until now, I have been using the laptop for mail (with Korganizer interface to kmail etc). In the near future I want to move the mail to the desktop (and back again after that - this is related to changes in my life affecting what is more practical). In pre KDE 4.2 times, I had some idea about how to do this. I would move into folders in the ~/.kde hierarchy named something with mail, and copy these to the other computer with scp or similar.

I understand that there is now a database called akonadi storing all the korganizer information which I guess include e-mail. How do I transfer this information to another computer?

In the meantime I'd recommend Unison (requires a little networking stuff, ssh and then it's got its own syntax which is explained) to keep everything up to date. Works over lan or internet.
