4. Enter the name of the file that you want to import in the Filename field. Alternatively, to browse for the file, click on the Browse button. When you select a file, click OK, then click on the Forward button.

5. Click on the Import button. A Select folder dialog is displayed.

6. Select the Evolution folder to which you want to import the KMail mail. Alternatively, click on the New button to create a new folder.
