If the $HOME/Mail folder exists when you first start kmail after the upgrade, 
it will be used. The kmailrc option is

folders=$HOME/Mail

If you don't, then the .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail folders will be created and 
used. You can change it after the fact, but I think you have to edit config 
files

When I upgraded, I kept the home directory, Mail was there when I booted up 
9.3, and it was used
