The kdepim-users mailing list is more appropriate for this kind of=20

Ideally you would have simply copied your complete home directory or at=20
least ~/Mail and ~/.kde to your new machine. Now you can simply copy=20
~/Mail and ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc. KDE has provisions to=20
automatically update configuration files.

CSV is just a comma separated list of all address book entries. There's=20
no information about the type of the fields, so it's not surprising=20
that importing didn't work. The preferred format for exchanging address=20
information is vCard. CSV is only useful if vCard isn't an option, e.g.=20
if you want to run a simple Perl/Python/whatever script for all=20
addresses or if you want to import addresses in a spread sheet=20
application.
