you're misunderstanding - this was my second migration, the one I was 
complaining about a few posts back in this thread - the only messages 
that came across were the ones that were unread in my original folders, 
a few hundred messages at most - I lost over 20 thousand - KMail has 
lost its lustre for me at this point - with all these bugs, and the 
sluggishness, it's a shadow of its former self - hopefully, they'll get 
it all straightened out eventually - Thunderbird has its own share of 
problems these days, too
