   What version of Kmail? I had trouble upgrading from kmail1 to Kmail2,   
   although 2 has its importer. In an earlier post, I mentioned a link   
   suggesting that you needed to delete history from akonadi or another of   
   KDE's wonderful creations, I have forgotten which.   
      
   If your versions of Kmail are equivalent, your mailboxes are in your ~/.kde.   
   Where exactly depends on whether it is 1 or 2. Your config is in   
   ~/.kde/share/config, and your address book is probably kabc.  Kmail   
   certainly has an exporter, but unless you are moving to Thunderbird or   
   Claws-mail, you shouldn't need to use it.   
      
   HTH,   
      
   Doug.
