What I do is run a local imap server (dovecot) and keep all mail there. Once its up just use kmail to copy all your existing local stored mails to the imap server. I suspect you'll find those 'dummy stub mails' will not be copied - even if something does you should be able to delete it as it is now on imap server (using kmail or any other mail client for that matter). 2) Exit kmail, mv your .kde/share/apps/kmail to a backup area and restart and reset up your kmail. Now that your local store is imap this will be a breeze. Plus you now can easily try or switch to other mail clients if you ever want to without worrying about moving local stored mails.
