If you used PIM Data Exporter to backup local email and / or settings, please use it again to restore data into KMail. See PIM Data Exporter for details.

Importing options in KMail

KMail has an import wizard to make the transition from another email application easier.

Tools → Import from another Email Client...

This starts the import wizard and tries to automatically detect data from another email application. In case the mail data you want to import is not found, use the Manual Selection option.

File → Import Messages...

Starts the import wizard and lets you select the desired data manually.

Please read the Import Wizard documentation for details.
