Export and re-import accounts

[alanstancliff]

I installed Barca on a new computer but was having a heck of a time setting up the email accounts, of which there are several. I made printouts and tried to copy them exactly. Five or more hours resulted in nothing but frustration.

Is it possible to export the accounts and store them on a USB stick and then sneakernet them into the installation of Barca on the other computer.

I'm tearing my hair out, and it's a bit thin to begin with. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Alan

Hi Alan,

Is it possible to export the accounts and store them on a USB stick and then sneakernet them into the installation of Barca on the other computer.

Yes, quite simple to do it.
Just copy your account.ini file and overwrite the current one on your other computer and you're done.
Make sure Barca is closed when overwriting that file.

The same can be done with your filters, events, notes and so on.

Should work, since I've done it many times.
