Doesn't matter.
When I exported my emails from WITHIN KMail  I chose a zip file as the
container.
When I select the import option it told me to close KMail before importing
because of possible changes by plugins.  So, I close KMAil andI select the
Kmail import wizard from Kubuntu 16.04's Untilities menu.
Trying the default import option I get the response posted above.
Search for other options I notice a gzip option (but NO zip option, which is
what KMail offered me as a choice).
I modified the template to read ".zip" and my zip file showed up in the
directory listing.  I chose it and a status line appeared "importing from  ..."
and giving the path to and including my zip file.
I let the app set for 15 minutes.  At NO time did the progress bar report any
importing taking place, even though KSysMonitor showed that the import wizard
was eating up 4 to 10% of CPU cycles and eventually showed 100% on all four
cores.  Still no progress was shown on the progress bar.  I shut the app down.

I opened KMail back up and took the import option from its menu again and this
time I closed KMail down while keeping the import GUI open.  Selecting the zip
file again I got the same results.  So, using the KMail Import wizard alone or
from within KMail, keeping KMail open or close, or any combination of those,
the results are always the same.  Lots of CPU cycles eaten but no progress in
actually importing any emails from KMail's own exported file.    Earrlier I had
imported 5,200 emails from my Gmail mbox export file with no problems at all,
and it went quickly.  KMail, it seems, can't eat its own dog food..
