I don't think I would import my three years of archived Kmail messages, as someone mentioned in the thread, since they are accessible text files if and when I need them.
Actually, what I did was telling dovecot where my 15 years of emails were stored, and from there on I can read them directly, as files as you say, or via imap. Dovecot is surprisingly good at this. In my case my mail was stored as mboxes from Pine, and it happens that dovecot uses the same dialect of mbox format as pine. As to maildir, which I think is the default for kmail, I don't know if it understand it so well. The other thing I don't know, but I think not, is whether dovecot can store some folders as maildir and others as mbox or whatever. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
