Did you try copying single emails? This has always worked for me. IIRC, then 
moving individual emails and copying multiple emails also worked. Only moving 
multiple emails with a single operation didn't result in files written to disk 
in some older version of KMail. Dan fixed this problem quite some time ago. 
All of my observations apply to maildir folders in my Local Folders.

Which version are you using?
