It would seem that there is a script that runs when kde is started for the 1st time that will do the conversions. Putting the files in the right place is one thing but I don't know how to make kde think it's running for the 1st time. Find the script though and all should be ok. I fail to understand why the script can't be called from kmail's imports.
