     The most effective and straightforward approach I have found is to hand   
   over the whole ~/.kde4/.../kmail/mail directory as ~/mail on the Kmail2 m/c,   
   and specify   
   that directory in the Account's Local Folder definition.   
      
   Kmail2 will then show your previous email folder structure, and index (&   
   automatically re-index)   
   the contents of each. Much simpler and less messy than using any Import option.
