I spoke to the KMail maintainer upstream about it and it's supposed to work 
but untested.  Obviously it's broken.  We still have a small window between 
now and 4.1 to fix this.  Does anyone want to help me out with some test case 
configs?

The method I am thinking is:

1) Produce sample KDE 3 kmail config - made from scratch each representing a 
user type eg.

POP user
POP + filters user
IMAP user
disconnected IMAP user
IMAP user with local filtering

2) Copy this config into .kde4 and start kmail, see what happens

3) Note bugs

4) Create clean KDE 4 config representing the desired outcome

5) Tar up original, migrated, and ideal kde4 configs for dissection by the 
developers.
