Doesn't matter.
When I exported my emails from WITHIN KMail  I chose a zip file as the
container.
When I select the import option it told me to close KMail before importing
because of possible changes by plugins.  So, I close KMAil andI select the
Kmail import wizard from Kubuntu 16.04's Untilities menu.
Trying the default import option I get the response posted above.
Search for other options I notice a gzip option (but NO zip option, which is
what KMail offered me as a choice).
I modified the template to read ".zip" and my zip file showed up in the
directory listing.  I chose it and a status line appeared "importing from  ..."
and giving the path to and including my zip file.
I let the app set for 15 minutes.  At NO time did the progress bar report any
importing taking place, even though KSysMonitor showed that the import wizard
was eating up 4 to 10% of CPU cycles and eventually showed 100% on all four
cores.  Still no progress was shown on the progress bar.  I shut the app down.

I opened KMail back up and took the import option from its menu again and this
time I closed KMail down while keeping the import GUI open.  Selecting the zip
file again I got the same results.  So, using the KMail Import wizard alone or
from within KMail, keeping KMail open or close, or any combination of those,
the results are always the same.  Lots of CPU cycles eaten but no progress in
actually importing any emails from KMail's own exported file.Earrlier I had
imported 5,200 emails from my Gmail mbox export file with no problems at all,
and it went quickly.  KMail, it seems, can't eat its own dog food..

[kmail2] [Bug 368517] New: The KMail2 Import Wizard fails to import an export file created by KMail2

[Jerry L Kreps via KDE Bugzilla]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368517

Bug ID: 368517
   Summary: The KMail2 Import Wizard fails to import an export
file created by KMail2
   Product: kmail2
   Version: 5.1.3
  Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: major
  Priority: NOR
 Component: commands and actions
  Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
  Reporter: greygee...@neb.rr.com

Before I reinstalled Kubuntu Xenial I used the export facility in KMail to
export my emails using the offered format, a zip file.  After Xenial was
reinstalled I configured KMail with the exact folder structure I had originally
and tested it with a few emails.  Then I used the  importwizard to import the
"kmail_ emails.zip" file.  If failed to do so, complaining that it could not
find a "cur" subfolder for several folders in the zip file.  Each folder
failed.  Here is the pattern:
"Importing folder /transports"
"No subfolder 'cur' in folder /transports"
This pattern will repeat for the /note, /mails, /config, /data, /resources,
/identities and /information folders that are present in the zip file which the
exporter made.  Examining the zip file with Ark I find that it contains no
subfolders named "cur".


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Close KMail
2.  Run the KMail Import Wizard from the Xenial Utilities Menu
3.  Select the zip file
4.  It fails, every time.

Actual Results:  
No import of emails from KMail's own generated export file.

Expected Results:  
My emails to populate at least one folder.

I am running Kubuntu 16.04 with Neon on top.  KMail is working great except for
a problem similar to the OP's.   On the last email in the input box message
list, when I drag the msg title to a folder, or delete it, the message body is
cleared but the message title in the message list is not.  I have to click on
another folder and then click again on the input box to clear it.  No
information is changed or lost, unless I deleted it.  It is as if the msg title
of the msg was a ghost.
