     And here on Mandriva-2010.2, it's 1.13.5, but Mageia-2 (and other   
   distro's) seem to give KMail the same number as the KDE version.   
      
   In Mandriva 2011, the simplest way of doing a test import of emails   
   into an empty KMail would be (assuming your existing /home/buckeroo is   
   mounted on, say, /oldhome):   
      
   rsync -avx /oldhome/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail    /home/buckeroo   
      
   which will create a copy in ~/mail.   
      
   Then go into KMail/Settings/Configure KMail/Accounts, select 'Local   
   Folders', Edit, and change the mail path to '/home/buckeroo/mail'.   
      
   Back into top window (which should now show your old folder   
   structure) and click on 'Inbox', which will start KMail indexing all   
   your Inbox email. Then 'Sent-mail', etc.   
      
   To control the layout of the message list, R.click on a folder, and   
   select the 'View' tab'.
