On KDE 3.4.0 (SuSE 9.3) I have the Calendar in 
~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics    and the Address book in
 ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf

Concerning the mail, I transferred mine from ~/Mail  (SuSE 9.1)
to~/ .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail  (SuSE 9.3)    *it moved*.
(also had to deal with permission in order just to copy).
Check that you copied all the hidden files (most contain the world "index"), 
(there are more of them in hidden folders) and that they have the right 
permission (owner) too.
Also check that you copied each folder down to folders "cur" and that they
really contain your mail (Konqueror should be able to open them directly)

Hope that helps   Perry
