Tried that too, but KMail2 just lists the e-mail directories/folders.
I can't click on them: aka I can't access my previous KMail e-mails.
Yes, they're KMail maildir folders, no mbox ;)

After adding "KMail folders" backend handler (and waiting for a while
with no activity whatsoever) ... I logged off, lit some candles,
prayed, moved the mouse while looking at the moon, ... ;)  logged on
again. But I still can't access my previous e-mail maildirs using the
akonadi "KMail Folders" backend, I can't click on those folders.

I know the e-mail maildir folders I'm trying to import are OK because:
   1.- If I click on an file/e-mail from konqueror ... a KMail2 window
opens and I can read the file/e-mail
   2.- If I copy them over to a distro with a previous version of
KMail, I can read them without issues

In any case, when you use the "File -> Import Messages" tool, where do
they get stored? They've got to be copied (imported) somewhere. Where
are they?

Another thing I've also tried is copying over the maildirs directly
into ~/.local/share/.local-mail.directory. This used to worked with
KMail ... but not anymore with KMail2 :(

Thanks for your time :)

TIA
