There are several ways. the best and obvious is in the Menu:
1) right-click on a folder and select "backup folder" (on my - german - system 
it says "Ordner archivieren". 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...

Have a nice weekend!
