IMAP uses mbox or maildir, depending on which imap server is used and how it's 
configured.  KMail's local folders, however, would depend on the way kmail is 
configured.  If Sebastian is simply wanting to copy folders across from 
within kmail he can't change the Inbox type, as far as I know, but he can set 
whether he wants maildir or mbox for other folders within Configure KMail > 
Misc.
