... how do I backup the data and setttings in KMail, KOrganizer, and
Konqueror and migrate it all to 4.2.4?

Hi Lou,

I believe all you'll need to do is rename `~/.kde' to be `~/.kde4' Or
if you have spare disk space, you can be super careful and `cp -rad
~/.kde ~/.kde4'

You'll want to do either when you're not logged in as yourself. You
might want to boot up at level three - pass `3' to `grub'

Please let others respond in case I'm wrong though. :)

It's not guaranteed that your kmail emails are stored in ~/.kde. If you
have migrated in the past from older KDE versions, they could be in
~/Mail, or somewhere else. Look in ~/.kde/share/kmailrc (I think) to find
the location if you have problems locating your emails.
