As to the OP question I would copy the .kdexx folder and rename it
,trinity . It seems like I did this years ago, or something as simple as
that. One caveat that comes to mind is I always have the same users, and
UID's on my network.

Laboriously copied the above 6
files/directories from .kde3 on the
old box to .trinity on the new one.
That did not work! Kmail failed to start.
Deleted the 5 config files, restarted kmail, at least kmail
started this time and my old mailboxes seem to have survived.
There has gotta be a better way!
Cheers,

It should - almost - work the way Nik indicated.
There are possibly a few things to edit when you move to .trinity (but
that will be only once). Mainly, did you edit
/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc ? In the last part of the file (after
the mailboxes), you have the path to your mail directory.
In (very) old time this would have been ~/mail , but somwhere in KDE
history it was relocated to a ./kde3 subdirectory, usually
$HOME/.kde3/share/apps/kmail/mail. You must change that to
$HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail
As far as I remember that's all I had to do (apart from copyinf the
directory).
