The kdepim-users mailing list is more appropriate for this kind of 
questions.

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

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