I forgot one (important) thing about the .kde to

for kmail not be lost with its configuration, you need to create a

Aha! Now that I certainly didn't do!! As I said, I'll keep loads of copies
and then howl for help if I need to!!
That works for any
trinity application that uses the reference to .kde folder in a
configuration file that has been copied from a KDE3 environment.
Yes, I have seen references to this. I had not transfered these references
and applied them to my failure with KMail. I clearly should have.
I think that I was panicking at the time. We are a multi-computer household,
and I am sysadmin for the lot. And almost all the computers decided to die
within a very short time of each other, at a particularly awkward time.
You must be careful not to mess this up with some new
KDE 4
configuration folder of course (anyway I presume you don't use kde
4 ;)).
I take elaborate precautions to avoid KDE4 as far as I possibly can. I most
certainly do not use it!! But it is a pernicious beast.
Thanks again,
