And if you do the latter - which is an excellent way of doing it - make sure
you zip the .kmail folder before you copy it to the USB stick. I had endless
troubles trying to sync up two computers by transferring the kmail folder -
files that didn't copy, messages that had headers but no body. The answer
came from the PCLOS forum - USB sticks being formatted FAT32 can't accept
folders containing a colon. Now, whether that last is the total reason or not
I don't know. But what I do know is that if you simply copy the .kmail folder
as it is via a USB stick you'll have problems and if you zip it first, then
unzip it on computer number two - you won't!
