For reasons unclear to me, going from KMail to Evolution is horrible. I
managed it, though. What I did was first convert my KMail maildirs (it's
all Maildir by default I think) to mbox format and import those. The
converting I did with the script at
http://www.fedoranews.org/contributors/brian_zammit/maildir2mbox/ and
qmail's maildir2mbox . This worked quite well (found all my folders and
subfolders). 

If your folders are already in mbox format and it doesn't work, I can't
help you though.
