KMail how to copy saved e-mails after reinstalling OS (SuSE 9.2)

I had to reinstall my Suse 9.2 64 OS. Before doing that, I saved my e-mails in a folder in my Windows C disk (have dual sys). Now I want to restore ( copy this files ) into KMail. I can open the existing folder - it shows only the first of saved mails but I do not know how and where to copy them .
Thanks a lot

When I do this, I just copy the older folder to ~/Mail. That's all. There is a setting in Kmail about whether you want to save themail in mbox or maildir format. That has to be the same on both installations. One Problem could be that you lost the hidden files in the Mail directory (e.g. .inbox.index).
