You can then select a compression format and a folder to save to. Later you can re-import these Mails. 2) Second, you can save single mails (or several at a time) from the list. 3) I am also starting to work with Monharc, (http://www.mhonarc.org/), which is converting mail stores to static HTML - which is exactly what I want for long-term-archive on DVD or Webservers. Seems a nice tool, but not (yet?) integrated with KDE or Kmail...
