Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages As Evolution is a widely used mail client with a standard mbox mail format, it would be cool to allow to import Evolution's mails into KMail ...
There's no need to import since it's the same format that KMail uses. Just copy the Evolution file to your ~/Mail or wherever you set up KMail to store your folders.
In this case, it would be nice to have a small hint for this in the Import GUI as well...

That's super. This bugtracking tool more and more becomes a support base :-)

Just copy the > Evolution file to your ~/Mail or wherever you set up KMail to store your folders. --- So I foloved this: 1) copy dir /home/tomas/.evolution/mail/local/MYFOLDER.sbd into /home/tomas/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail 2) change dir name MYFOLDER.sbd into .uOne.directory 3) copy /home/tomas/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox as /home/tomas/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/MYFOLDER 4) then in KMail appeard a lot of evolution setup directories --- But import Evolution files works in KMail if you delete all *.ev-summary* files in Evolution loacl mail directories, othervise import hands on these files
