The index files, e.g. 
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.<some_number>.directory/.INBOX.index 
contains the index of the INBOX of an IMAP account, are binary and the 
important tags are just one bit per message in those binary files. If 
the indexes were regenerated then the important tags are lost. Sorry.

The next time you migrate to another machine you should copy at least 
everything in ~/.kde from your old to your new machine. In fact, I 
always copy my complete home directory when I migrate to a new machine 
and so far I never had any problems.

Regards,
Ingo
