I'm using Kmail 1.4.1 (as you can see -- duh --) which accomodates both
mbox and maildir formats. The mbox flat files can be copied 'tween Kmail
and Netscape (or Mozilla). Of course, index files will have to be
rebuilt by the destination program. Within Kmail, mail can be moved
between boxes using different formats.
So, assume you want to consolidate your mail in Kmail and that you
accepted the default of maildir for your mailboxes. (Settings -->
Configure Kmail --> Miscellaneous ). Simply create "Inbox2" and
configure **only that box** to use the mbox format. (Folder --> Create
then type the name and choose Mbox from the drop-down). Now you can copy
your Mozilla Inbox file to ~/Mail/Inbox2 . Now, you can select the
Inbox2 folder in Kmail and, after Kmail has finished building its index,
read the mail you just copied from Mozilla. Once the mail is accessible
by Kmail, you can move messages between the two dissimilar boxes in the
same manner as you move SPAM to the trash box.
Really, the most difficult part is trying to remember the path to the
Mozilla Inbox.
