Can I change a running Kmail to use mbox, and if I can how do I that?.
Not as such. You must commit to a mail storage format when you create a new folder it cannot be changed afterward. But you can always create a new folder in the desired format, copy all the messages from the old folder to that new folder, remove the old folder and rename the new one.
I understand. What mail storage format does Mozilla mail have. Necessary to know when importing Mozilla mails ?
I'm not really sure, but in doing a Web search (ahem), I found this page: http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq. Go there and search for "kmail". Here's the paragraph in which it appears: "How do I import e-mail messages from kmail (Linux)? "Make a new folder in kmail and name it inboxmbox. You'll see a dialogue in which you can save it as an mbox folder. Copy all posts in your kmail inbox folder to the new inboxmbox folder, then copy or move inboxmbox to the subfolder Mail/Local Folders in your profile folder. When you open Thunderbird you'll see the inboxmbox folder under Local Folders. Copy the messages into your Inbox folder if you like." I believe the implication is that Firefox (and Mozilla) use mbox format.
