I read that quite some time. I intend to try the import thing then, I bet.

Huh. I am using it on 64-Bit. Please elaborate it a bit. Here it seems to 
work just nicely.

Hmmm, that would be a reason to stay with POP3.

Thanks for your hints.

I already archived another 65000 mails into mbox files. I have the idea to 
just move the mbox files somewhere else and let KMail 2 only import the 
maildir stuff initially. I can always try to import the about a million 
mails (946468 unread ones) in the mboxes at a later time. It might be wise 
to tell Nepomuk initially to not index them.

I told Nepomuk strigi indexer to skip ~/Mail completely for now. I think 
thats sane anyway, cause later on there is some Akonadi Nepomuk mail 
feeder in KMail 2. No need to index mails twice.

Ciao,
