I just moved the old maildir directory of KMail 1 to ~/.local/share/local-mail 
– and let Akonadi pick it up there. Worked quite quickly back then, but I 
disabled Nepomuk mail indexing for the import. Shouldn´t be an issue with 
Baloo. It indexes those about 700000 mails in my maildirs in about half an 
hour. To be safe be sure to make a backup of your maildir.

But I separated mbox folders from it so that it can be handled by the default 
maildir resource which only does maildir.

I tried to reactivate my mbox based mail archive, but it needs some memory 
work on mixedmail dir resource[1]. Or enhancing mbox resource to handle 
several mbox´ in a directory tree. So far I think it handles just one mbox and 
I do not want to create and maintain 20 or more mbox resources for my archive.

resource consumes tons of memory

Did I make clear already that I love Baloo? First hit after Alt-F2 
"mixedmaildir" :)

Ciao,
