            Bug ID: 368517
           Summary: The KMail2 Import Wizard fails to import an export
                    file created by KMail2
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.1.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: commands and actions
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Before I reinstalled Kubuntu Xenial I used the export facility in KMail to
export my emails using the offered format, a zip file.  After Xenial was
reinstalled I configured KMail with the exact folder structure I had originally
and tested it with a few emails.  Then I used the  importwizard to import the
"kmail_ emails.zip" file.  If failed to do so, complaining that it could not
find a "cur" subfolder for several folders in the zip file.  Each folder
failed.  Here is the pattern:
"Importing folder /transports"
"No subfolder 'cur' in folder /transports"
This pattern will repeat for the /note, /mails, /config, /data, /resources,
/identities and /information folders that are present in the zip file which the
exporter made.  Examining the zip file with Ark I find that it contains no
subfolders named "cur".


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Close KMail
2.  Run the KMail Import Wizard from the Xenial Utilities Menu
3.  Select the zip file
4.  It fails, every time.

Actual Results:  
No import of emails from KMail's own generated export file.

Expected Results:  
My emails to populate at least one folder.
