I have found that it does not, at this time, import KMail.  Much to my
annoyance.  However, Evolution is far superior to
KMail/Korganizer/Kaddressbook that I am willing to fire up KMail on
those occasions that I have to reveiw my legacy mail.

I have imported kmail just fine. just import the files in your mail dir (i.e. 
inbox, Linux etc ...) if the folder is empty it will crash evolution, if you 
have child folders (i.e. inbox - wife) it will import the wife into the 
inbox folder.

Weird, I get told that there is no importer capable of handling the
folder.

Works for me.  Sylpheed did too.  I like Sylpheed better, in fact, because it 
definitely loads faster on my P200 class machines than either Kmail or Evolution, so 
that's what I use on my slower boxes.  I don't feel that either Ev or Syl are actually 
better e-mail clients than Kmail, though. Ev does win in the eye candy category.
