Importing mail to KMAIL

Hi, I have been a netscape mail user for many years now, and I would like to start using kmail, well I have one small issue, I would like to import all my email/address to kmail from netscape mail, and I can't. Does anyone knows how to do that?

I assume Tools->Import...->Netscape LDIF Addressbook did not work for you?

Unfortunatly it did not, it tells me to sellect a directory, (I do) it tells me to continue (I do), BUT nothing happens. :cry:

I still cannot find it, but maybe you could try another way?
Say you export it to a comma delimited file(csv) in Netscape and then import it to kmail?
Just an idea as a work around. I looked at the bug list, but did not see a solution as yet...

:cry: It looks like I am not suppose to move over to kmail unless I am willing to loose all my emails & contacts, because I can not export anything in Netscape apart from my bookmarks. Anyway thanks for your help and if I ever find out how to export or import or transfer it, I'll post it here! :(

Netscape's mails should be in mbx or maildir format.

It should be possible to copy them to the KMail mail directory ~/Mail and starting KMail to have them imported.
