Hello Livio, Bob.
I'm a long time user of Kmail too and since I'm one of those kind of guys who 
like to keep mail (currently I have approx. 1,000,000 ~ 13GB space), I have 
been always taken the mail upgrade process top priority issue.

About the mailbox mails you have, Kmail can import them OK into maildir. Use 
the Import menu, and then select the mbox (Unix, Evolution) option. It's near 
the bottom of the selection.

HTH,
