Oh, I only see this now.

Debian Squeeze *and* Wheezy has KDEPIM 1 as of 4.4.11.

Kubuntu 12.04 likely had KDEPIM 2.

So in this case you can forget about the Akonadi database for KMail for 
example.

You can still pick up the mail and KMail from KDEPIM 1 may recreate most of 
the metadata from the maildir storage or IMAP server, but I am not sure 
whether that includes all metadata.

So careful there. And I bet manual stepts involved. Possibly even configuring 
KMail from start, since AFAIK KMail 2 uses a different configuration file.

Ciao,
