I've checked my permissions and they are all fine, I've deleted the indexes 
and still get empty emails even though the emails are there.  I also can't 
find where the Calendar and Address book entries are or go.  

I really don't want to just copy .KDE off the backup to the fresh install.  
I'm afraid that I may be copying remnants of the older versions of KDE.
