How to export / import mails in kmail ?

I have moved from kmail 3.1 to kmail 3.2 (Mdk10) - now I need all my email to move as well. How can this be done ?

Kmail seems to keep all its mail in mbox format, so got to Tools/Import Messages... and select the Import mbox Files option, browse to your old mailbox folder and you should be away.

All the best

If you don't have any mails in your new installation yet, you can move the old Mail directory to the new location and then start KMail
