That seems like it will likely be tricky. I don't know a lot about kmail, but I've got two ideas that might work: 1) Depending on what kmail can do, you might be able to set up a maildir or mbox folder with kmail, and have kmail transfer all that mail into it. I believe Thunderbird can ready both mbox and maildir, so that might be a nice solution if kmail can do that. 2) Another idea I thought of that might be heavy handed, but might also work would be to set up an IMAP server of your own. Then you can connect kmail to that IMAP server, transfer all your mail to the server, then connect Thunderbird to it and import it. It's certainly not a simple idea, but it should work. Cyrus is the IMAP server that I use, but there are others, and perhaps some that are simpler to configure. Hope this helps! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlDqNmcACgkQw3vjPfF7QfVuMgCggFCMdmW4IIOzMPZeMzrw/eX9 wPoAoJoNP8Nbg+tCI3C28os4aYYA/uSv =VHZe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
