31 I copied selected files like emailidentities, parts of kmailrc, etc.
32 and they seem to work fine. Only two rather annoying problems:
33
34 I can't find the POP Filters to copy them over and so far all my
35 messages arrive in the main inbox.
36
37 I can't find the config file which contains the Outgoing mail account
38 settings (I have a number of outgoing accounts and would rather not
39 have to set them up manually again).
40
41 Any ideas where these are hiding?
