I disagree. Importing a config is important. Look at the difference 
between firefox 2 and 3. Importing works. That's important. I don't 
care how it looks after it's imported, I just want it to work.

I've used the same config for years. It works. I've got enough filters, 
and other settings that I don't want to reinstall. I keep a backup of 
kmailrc just in case of a failure somewhere along the line. I can drop 
it in, and be off and running. 

Oh, and what's a pim? Personal information manager? Don't need it. I 
want email. Don't use the calendar, or todo list, or notes. Just email. 
I like it simple.
