That said, Salamandir, if you still have config and ".index" files of old 
KMail from KDEPIM 1 - cause you never deleted them from an old migration 
attempt KDEPIM 1 => 2 -, it would be sufficient to copy them over and just run 
old KMail.

You will loose all new metadata thats not stored in the maildir by KMail. 
And well if you changed some filter rules in KMail 2, you have to redo those 
changes an KMail 1. But thats about it.

This case is of course no "downgrading" of KDEPIM data, but just using the 
old KDEPIM 1 data if it is still there.
