This solution may sound like it has a lot of overhead work in it but in my opinion it's the best way to do this and attachments should go through properly. Setup an IMAP/POP3 server on one of your linux machines (most distros come with those servers preconfigured and the default config should be good enough for this) and create an account. Add this account to outlook and copy (not move, in case something bad happens) all your email from outlook to the IMAP inbox folder. Once that is done, connect kmail to the same IMAP/POP3 server you used in outlook using POP3 and download all the email from the mail server. That should get you going with the least hassle. Once that is done you can remove those accounts you had just created from both outlook and kmail. Let me know if you need help with setting up a IMAP/POP3 server.
