a) is it possible to migrate my mail from Kmail5 to Kmail3? What format would I choose for archival in order to be able to import them into kmail3.
Actually, a migration should not even be necessary. kmail5 (and 4) still use the same actual storage. In the case of IMAP that's irrelevant anyway, but I suppose you use POP3 and local maildirs. IIRC, the location for local folders was configurable in kmail3 too, so just point it to your current maildir (probably ~/.local/share/local-mail, but hat's configurable in Akonadi too) and all should work. Settings (like filters) will not be respected though, and I'm not sure if it's possible to migrate them back. I did use kmail3 and kmail4 intermittently years ago (4.7.0/1, mainly because there were performance problems with POP3 that caused timeouts for me and kmail4 was unable to actually download all my mails because the server timed out). Though in my case, I started with kmail3 and continued to use the same folder (~/Mail/), as kmail4/Akonadi migrated the settings automatically anyway. Meanwhile (years ago...) I switched all my mail accounts to IMAP though for other reasons. (mainly to be able to access them from several systems/locations, and having all changes reflected everywhere automatically, e.g. I got bored of marking the same mails as read multiple times....) Sorry for not replying earlier, I didn't have time when I read this and hoped others would reply, and then forgot about it later on...
