It is. Open the Filters menu and click Import. Navigate to the kmailrc

Don't even think of it. It must be a recipe for disaster, surely?

I think what I've described must be official as it's in the standard
menus.

So I've had to switch to another client, kmail2 having completely
wrecked my e-mail system.
