Have done that, it took me a while, as it wouldnt accept folders in folders once it was mbox, so I had to move all folders to root level, and import them in one by one. By the way I use sylpheed, and it is quite wonderous. I like it so far, and it is fast.
THis is what I get from TOP (M)
8236 is RES. That is about 8MB. Kmail used around 100MB with all that it started. I am thrilled. Thanks

I use XFCE and like it so far. I use gkrellm to show everything I need, just XFCE will not autostart it like KDE used to. It wont remember my last setup. I guess it is a good thing. I may just put "gkrellm" into my .xinitrc file, so it will start as well.
What I dont know, is how can I change a keyboard input style? I type in Japanese usually, but sometimes I need Hungarian as well. KDE had a little icon at the bottom, and by clicking it, I changed quickly to Hungarian.
Thanks
