I thought I had all the important stuff, including mail and contacts, moved over successfully. That turned out not to be the case. Oh, the data is moved over, and I can even look at it in the new version of Kontact\/Korganizer\/Kmail. The problem is, the new version is unusable. For example, I was moving a bunch of mail around and it didn&#8217;t appear to be working properly. The mail I moved (as opposed to copied) ended up in the destination folder, but it seemed to remain in the original folder as well. So I finally moved just one message from the Inbox to a subfolder. It appeared in the destination folder and was no longer in the inbox. Then, as I sat there staring at the Inbox, the message magically reappeared. Geez. Kmail is a piece of crap.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">I finally decided to bag all my old mail and contacts and just start using a fresh installation of Thunderbird. I left Kmail\/Kontact installed, so if necessary I can go back and look at mail or contacts if I need to verify something later. Assuming Kmail hasn&#8217;t moved or deleted it, of course. So I&#8217;ve now spent an entire morning trying to get my mail functioning again. The real goal, of course, has nothing to do with the software. I just want to be able to process orders and ship kits, which I&#8217;m now doing with Thunderbird. Eight so far this morning.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 65%; height: 3px; font-family: Arial;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13:24 &#8211; Have I mentioned that I hate Linux only slightly less than I hate Windows and OSX?\n<\/p>\n<p>I spent quite a few hours over the long holiday weekend migrating from my ancient system, a Core2 Quad Q9650X running Ubuntu 9.04, to my new system, a Core i7 980X running Linux Mint 15.
