My experience show that it is much better to start the email structure from 
scratch. This way you will have nice and smooth working environment.  Also I 
have changed some jobs from once and awhile and each time I had all my emails 
burned to CDs for immediate future use.  The matter of fact is that I never 
opened them.  For me is important just the contact lists, which I keep on 
Google. But all is personal preference at the end of the day.

In any case, though I never tested, there is an IMPORT feature in Kmail under 
File.  There I see option for Outlook express (that might not work) but also 
to import a file from a folder. You can try it out.

You can customise quite freely the views of your mail. You can either click on 
the panel (Sender-Subject-Date) and look for the different Themes that you can 
adjust to your preferences.
