Hi. I am moving from pc to mac. I managed to transfer the mail and profile, but I have following problems: - it only works when I start it via the terminal with the option -profilemanager, and choose my profile. In this case it asks me for global password, connects to server, has all my folders and filters are working, address book, etc. - when I start it normally, it just goes directly to creating a new account. Although I have clicked on "use the selected profile without asking at startup", it still will bring me to the startup without my configuration, folders and mail. It also won't check for new email, and won't send email.

When I moved (deleted) the pkcs11.txt and key4.db files, it would also check and send emails.

Problem solved - with chmod and chown of several files, which - for some reasons - have been with different ownership and mode.
