I apologies, I did not realize my reply went to your address and the
list. Any portable storage device big enough to hold the information
will work. Just install your new distro and KMail and then look to see
where it put the config files and directories for KMail then just put
your saved files in the new places over writing the new files. You
should be back up and running in just a few minutes.
Please keep everything on the list. Please also trim and post your
replies at the bottom of the message and not at the top. That is
probably not possible with a BB.
