About "duplicate entries", this is what happens.

1. I have my POP3 backend configured to leave messages in the server, so I can
fully retrieve my mail from every machine and POP3 client out there.
2. When KMail-migrator tried to migrate my mail, it made a "Local Folders"
resource with the best part of my POP3 mail and some mail from my IMAP account.
3. Local Folders has already the best part of my mail, and the POP3 backend is
downloading mail to the same Local Folders (inbox, outbox, and the like). POP3
backend believes, and rightfully so, that the message hasn't been downloaded,
but is there, because it's imported through Local Folders.
4. When the POP3 backend tries to download a mail that's already there (because
of a different backend, Local Folders) a duplicate entry generates, but, as the
downloaded mail has the same name, size and everything that the mail already
there, I believe this generates a mid-air collision between 2 backends (Local
Folders and POP3). That's why I spoke about "duplicate entries", to clarify
myself :)
