How do I import e-mail messages from kmail (Linux)?

    Make a new folder in kmail and name it inboxmbox. You'll see a dialogue in 
which you can save it as an mbox folder. Copy all posts in your kmail inbox 
folder to the new inboxmbox folder. Exit kmail. Next, copy or move inboxmbox 
to the subfolder Mail/Local Folders in your profile folder. When you open 
Thunderbird you'll see the inboxmbox folder under Local Folders. Copy the 
messages into your Inbox folder if you like.

Nice, but not with 100 plus archive folders in Kmail.

Thanks anyway Paul
