Hi

I found a solution though I do not understand it. Here is what I tried (might 
help to exclude these things for other users):

Changed permissions, that did not help - as expected

Did move Mail to Mail-org and created new directories and migration worked. I 
could also get new mails and they were correctly retrieved from the pop3 
account.  

Then looked at the orginal Mail folder again. There I saw an empty folder 
'oldindex'. Although I do not remember it, it could be that  I created it to 
move the index files of kmail to while I was experimenting with beta versions 
of kdepim earlier this year. I removed this folder and now everything seems to 
work. So apparently it was my dumb mistake. 

I checked the messages from the failed migration, but a message with a 
reference  'oldindex' did not appear, so the messages of migrator/kmail are 
somewhat misleading. If you like me to dig further into that I could try, 
although this could take a while since my time is rather limited at the 
moment. 

Other remarks (not complaining, just observing): 
- After migration I had to go to the top Kmail folder and make a manual 
'Update folder and its subfolders' to see the mails (but maybe I did not wait 
long enough, although it was a minute or so)

- After I closed the migrator window during some of the migrations (I always 
started from scratch for all the tests), a kwallet dialogue saying

"There have been repeated failed attempts to gain access to a wallet. An 
application may be misbehaving."

popped up. I closed it and it did not hurt. Maybe it was a side effect of 
starting/stopping akonadi and not do the same with related services like 
nepomuk.

So, sorry to have bothered you, after all it was apparently my mistake.  I 
really appreciate all the work you do for kdepim and happily use it for over 
10 years now.

Cheers
