I have a large amount of old emails

I have created a KMail account
specifying the MBox file /var/spool/mail/tim/.
I have chosen Lock method: None
I found there was already a Local Folders account
pointing to a Maildir folder at ~/.local/share/local-mail
which in fact is empty.
So I called the new account alice
(the email comes from in.alice.it).
Unfortunately after setting up the MBox account as above
I do not see the email in the /var/spool/ folder.
It is clear that I do not understand KMail accounts properly.
Could some kind soul please enlighten me.
Should I perhaps delete the old "Local Folders" account,
and use this name for the new account.
Or is that irrelevant?
Hi,
you can't remove "Local Folders" account, as it will be automatically added
after next Akonadi start.
I'm not sure I understand it correctly (/me never used mbox), but shouldn't
the configuration point to an actual file? /var/spool/mail/tim/ does not look
like an MBox file to me :-))
Cheers,
Dan
