According to Laurent's explanation this is as simple as replacing the path 
with the respective collection Id?

Right.
Same as above? I.e. replace path with collection Id?

I haven't had time to test POP3 yet and I only tested DIMAP with my 
demo.kolab.org account.
Local KMail dir was tested with a copy of most of my actual dir, including 
MBoxes.

I do have a general question on config migration: what about using kmail2rc 
(maybe even call the executable kmail2)?
There are probably setttings in kmailrc that do no longer make sense, the 
migrator could (assuming we can get a mapping of settings) just migrate those 
which still do.

Has the nice side effect of making the same setup still usable with KMail1 in 
fallback scenarios.

Cheers,
Kevin
