I'm sorry but I can't recommend this route anymore and this is why:

Since you are still using kmail1 I suggest that you use an imap account to 
transfer all your email. Upload everything to the imap server (gmail may do if 
you don't have too many gigabytes to transfer) and then access your mail from 
any client. Nowadays all of them do imap.

Unfortunately I can't help you any better.
