copy the above folders and you'll keep your configuration and mail.
Of course you'd better backup your ~/.kde first if possible, just in
case.

Thank you Franklin.

Oh yes, and by all means DO NOT Forget (EVEN IF you don't use kontact) in
the "config" directory:
"emaildefaults"
and
"emailidentities"

Also, if you use kontact you may need a few more files.

in the "config" directory:
kontact files of course,
korg*
kmail*
kaddress*
knotify
knotesrc (if you used them)


These are where kmail and kontact put the "who you are" stuff.
in the "apps" directory you'll need the following:
kabc
kcal (not sure what part it plays but my calendar didn't work just right until
I copied this over, but it could be a coincidence)
kmail
korganizer
knotes (if you used them)
