I believe that should read "configure Kmail" but you get the idea....
I have no idea what leftover file from 3.4 may have been the problem, but I 
had no problem with kmail 1.9 until I removed KDE versions 3.1- 3.4. I can 
understand how setting up a fresh kmail as root would force kmail to read 
from /usr/kde/3.5 rather than ~/kde/3.5, but how that affects configured 
users, doesn't make sense to me. At any rate, I'm glad you got it working, 
and I'm glad I could help point you in the right direction.
