I just noticed that KMail on KDE3 has "Import mail" command in File menu and it allows to import
KMail's mail directory. Maybe this is a stupid question, but have you tried this?

Stupid people need stupid questions... I hang my head. Unfortunately, I can't now try it because KMail-trinity now crashes as soon as I try to open it. I need to get back somehow to square one with it. But when I do, I shall immediately try your suggestion - and kick myself hard again.

(The obvious thing to try first is reinstate the default in kmailrc.)

Thanks so much Jan,
