You seem to confuse "compact" with "compress". During folder compaction 
all messages in a folder which have been marked as deleted are stripped 
from the mailbox file. This has nothing to do with compressing (aka 
zipping) a file.

Simply copy the (uncompressed) mailbox files to your ~/Mail directory 
and restart KMail. The mailboxes will be automatically imported.
Please note, that if you overwrite old mailbox files you have to delete 
the corresponding .*.index* files.
