[Kde-pim] Finding mail on a botched system

[thorsten at staerk.de]

Anne,

I have such maildir files as well. I copy them to
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/tho-myfolder/cur
and can read them in my kmail folder tho-myfolder afterwards. So I can
also search.

You may want to replace tho-myfolder with inbox and .kde with .kde4, the
latter depending on his distribution.

tell me if that answers your question
