Well there is something on:

https://wiki.kubuntu.org/OneiricOcelot/Final/Kubuntu/Kmail2

http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/KDEPIM-4.7_upgrade


I get more and more the impression, that I better import my old mails from 
the KMail ~/Mail folder than to have maildir resource synchronize with it 
directly. I thought the maildir resource would work if I made sure that no 
mbox files are left in the ~/Mail folder. I made sure about that. But maybe 
there are other subtile differences that might cause data loss?

Thanks,
