I have been using kmail for some years now and intend to switch/migrate to

and mail-messages (not necessarily the filters). I simply can't afford to 
import thousands of mails by hand. 

When starting evolution for the first time I saw an entry representing my 
~/Mail directory with only those folders included that contain subfolders, 
but I didn't see any mail-message.

Is there any import-utility or howto around to solve this task ?

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

Another possibilty: move your folders to {s,}imap, and find it easier to
change mail programs in the future.
