Most stuff is in your .kde folder, for example here:
~/.kde/share/config/kresources
and your mail should be in in ~/Mail

Unless, of course, you've choosen other locations for this stuff.

Either way, preserving your homefolder is the best thing you can do -
you will keep all your settings and data (don't forget the hidden
directories!) when you install again, or even another distribution.

Having a home folder on a separate partition even allows for having
several distributions installed with the same home -> same settings
and data!

:D
