</div></div>As much as I can tell, there's no direct way to import your Kmail's<br>
maildir into Thunderbird's mbox store. However, you can do this<br></blockquote><div><br>A web search will yield many mbox to maildir converters, but I don't see anyone advertising maildir to mbox. You would think someone would have done it.<br>
<br>As I recall, I used kmail to convert to mbox. I would create a new mail folder in maildir format and move all the files from the old, mbox, folder to the new one. The conversion happened automatically.<br><br>Perhaps this could work in reverse, too? Kmail used to understand mbox. If it still does, and can create a new mbox folder, you could copy the maildir emails to the mbox folder. If that works, you should be able to have thunderbird use the mbox folder.<br>
