Try the following:
Copy your mbox files to a directory on your laptop.
Then in Kmail
Tools | Import Messages I Import mbox files | and give the directory location.
I used something like that before.

Dear Listas...
I don't know if this is of-topic or not. If so sorry...
I bought a laptop, I now want to move over all my kmail stuff to the laptop.
I've attempted to copy the "/home/jerry/Mail" directory to the laptop but kmail then fails to start. Anybody know how to do this?
Jerry
Is the UID/GID of the copied folder right? Does starting KMail from prompt give you any clues as to what fails? Does KMail start at all? (if you don't copy the old mail) --
