All i want to ask is , if there is a simple way to convert Mozilla mailboxes to KDE Mail or visa versa ( whichever is more simple ) . I have Mozilla 1.4 and KDE Mail 1.4.3 ( Using KDE 3.0.5a-0.73.1 ) . I currently use Redhat 7.3 Thanks in advance for your time

I'm using Kmail 1.4.1 (as you can see -- duh --) which accomodates both mbox and maildir formats.
Well i have Kmail 1.4.3 but i guess this doesn't affect things much. 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.
Now let's see if i got things straight . You mean that Mozilla actually uses mbox format files to store email and by using the procedure you describe i can port them to Kmail
For example i take the Transiberian : /root/.mozilla/root/a4337ieb.slt/Mail/mypop3server and copy it under a newly created folder Inbox2 under /root/Mail
Correct ?
Tell me about that .
Really, the most difficult part is trying to remember the path to the Mozilla Inbox.
