I don't use a GUI mail client, but my sister uses KMail. I thought I saw an option for
import/export. Not sure if that means you can assimilate mail into your mail boxes,
but if
you can, all you should need to do would be copy the folders to your $HOME and then use
Kmail's drop down menus and import them. That may do the job for you!

| Try this, after closing Kmail and backing up all your mail files (just
| in case):
|
| 1. In your /home/user/Mail directory, delete all *.index files.
| 2. In this directory, make a subdirectory: ".newmail.directory"
| 3. Copy your mail files from the other drive across into this
| directory, leaving out *.index files.
| 4. Do the same for the other drive, but make another directory to copy
| to.
| 5. Restart Kmail.
