If you have been using KMail for a long time, the mails might be in the old 
location
~/Mail

This should also work, however it is a bit slow since the "dcop" executable 
has to be called some many times.

% dcop kmail KMailIface folderList | while read folder; do dcop $(dcop kmail 
KMailIface getFolder $folder) unreadMessages; done

Cheers,
Kevin
