   email is usually in HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kmail   
   Check it first to be sure but the last time, long ago, I copied and moved   
   the entire folder.   
      
   Don't forget your set up customising files in   
      
   HOME/.kde4/share/config   
      
   A fun test is to pull them all out somewhere SAFE , start Kmail and see how   
   it behaves. You usually get the welcome to kmail default and wizard
