YAM 2.5 PPC and mail tranfer from YAM 2.4

I recently reinstalled YAM 2.4 and YAM 2.5 on my new setup for OS4.1.I have hundreds of mails downloaded but in YAM 2.5 it only shows a little.

How can I do to show all the mails of YAM 2.4 on YAM 2.5?

When I tested the YAM wich comes with OS4.1 I received some mails too.

Can I pass this mails from OS4.1 to my YAM 2.5 installation?

Any help is appreciated.

@MamePPCA1

Have you tried scanning the directory?

Click on Folder - Update Index

@TiredOfLife

I haven't tried before but now I tried and the result is the same,all mails are few and the same.

Could it be something about the YAM icon tooltypes?
I think I succeded on reading the YAM 2.4 mails on YAM 2.5 enabling the (MAILDIR=YAM:) on other attempts.

Now I have enabled PREFSFILE=.config on YAM's tooltypes.

@MamePPCA1

I think that the format changed. So, try to launch yam 4 and export your folders in a format Yam 5 can import ? (I use Yam 2.6 here, you know, the nightly builds, so... )

@Ricossa

I imported my Yam 2.4 emails into Yam 2.5 without any trouble.

@MamePPC

Check the directory settings.
Make sure everything is pointing the right way

Can be a tricky and not as obvious as you might think.

Have you tried copying the mails directly into the folders, from 2.4 to 2.5?

@TiredOfLife

Where are the directory settings? Maybe on the tooltypes or in the YAM configuration option?

About importing the mails I have imported one but it only let you import one message at the same time.It may take very long to import my around 800 hundred mails.

Copying from YAM 2.4 to YAM 2.5 is a good idea?

@MamePPCA1

When I switched to 2.5, I was able to copy all my folders across. However, I had 1 encrypted folder. When I tried to import that, only a fraction of my messages came through. Not sure what the problem was, I haven't got round to asking folks on the Yam list yet.

You don't have to import 1 mail at a time. Copy one of your old-format mail folders to Yam 2.5

Create a new folder and select "Existing directory". A file selector will pop-up, select the folder you just copied. The folder settings window will pop-up with all your existing settings for this folder (e.g., mailing list support, etc).

It will then prompt you with the filename of this first email, asking if you want to change it to the new format. Click on "All", and Yam 2.5 will import all the mail in that folder.

Looking through my folders now, most of them have all imported. Some have 3 or 4 still in the old format that haven't imported, and the encrypted folder has maybe half it can't read.

Thanks it works!!!

I maked a dir on YAM 2.5 for the YAM 2.4 messages and moved to my incoming folder.The same I have done with a few mails on the YAM/incoming dir on OS4.1.
I think the problem is solved now.My more than 1000 mails
are now all organized on YAM 2.5
