Never used kMail myself (had only a quick look), but Sean M. Alderman
posted last December, how he converted from Eudora to Netscape and
months later to Evolution.

http://www.timcoston.com/linux/index.php

On that site is a program (that's what he used), that can convert from
kMail to Netscape. Evolution can import Netscape mail then.

Sorry, a 2 step way, but it should be worth a try. HTH
