Hi,

Questions about kde can be addressed at http://forum.kde.org , where a large group of experienced users and developers can 
help you. 

About copying your mails to another computer: you can create a ZIP or tar.gz archive of the directory 
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail and copy it to a usb-stick, sd-card or cd/dvd disc and copy it back to that directory on the new 
computer. 
Keep in mind that .kde is a hidden directory.

When i move from computer, i always archive the complete contents of /home/username (after cleaning it up a bit) and copy it 
to the new computer, in order to have all my personal settings and files restored.

Regards, Rinse
