Johnny , 

I think you can export email folders, filters and address book from KDE3-Kmail to   
KDE4-Kmail or  kmail2

Are you using Mageia 1 or Mageia 2?

In Mageia 1 the folder of Kmail is in  home/user/.kde/share/apps/kmail. 

In Mageia 2 the folder of Kmail2 is in home/user/.local/share/local-mail/


I do not remember if these options KDE3 are all correct, because I do not have 
the kde3 to verify.


Export email:
In KDE3,  you can to export the kmail folders with the emails. To export, you 
click on Kmail folder, and right-mouse button, select the "Archive Folders", 
which will create a compressed archive (zip, tar, etc.)

Export filter
In KDE3, the Kmail filters can be exported. In toolbar, in "settings" and in "Set 
filters", the file of filters can be  exported

Export kdressebook
In KDE3, kdressbook can be exported. In toolbar, in "Tools", in "address book", 
will open a new windos.  In toolbar, go to File, export "kdressbook". 


Import email folders to KDE4:
In Mageia 1 with Kmail or In Mageia 2 with Kmail2 (KDE4) these "Archive Folders" 
(zip, tar, etc) can be imported, In toolbar, "file", "import messages", and 
select "import a archiving KMaill"

Import filters to kmail or kmail2 in KDE4: 
In toolbar, in "settings" and in "Set filters", the file of filters can be 
imported.

Import kadressboof to kmail or kmail2 in KDE4: 
 In toolbar, in "Tools", in "address book", will open a new windos.  In toolbar, 
go to File, import "kdressbook".
