<p>A very common use case for this is to export only settings. Emails are stored on IMAP, so they can be fetched again at destination.<br />
Of course pop3 users (assuming they still exist?) also need to transfer the emails, that's like a bonus feature in a settings exporter :-)<br />
As an IMAP user, it's scary to click on export data when I just want to export settings.<br />
For a POP3 user, if all you can find is a menu-item about exporting settings, you'll try that and you'll be glad to then realize it also exports the emails ;-)</p>
<p>Brainstorming other solutions:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Import/Export KMail Settings/Emails... urgh, hard to read.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Two menuitems, which launch pimsettingsexporter with slightly different defaults?</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">s/Settings/Data/ *everywhere* in the pimsettingsexporter application (and possibly renaming it to pim-data-transfer or something...)</li>
