How about this shell script?

backup_kmail_data.sh

#/usr/bin/bash
# Go to where KDE apps store stuff
cd ~/.kde/share/apps
# Tar does not store empty directories (I think), so put the 
# traditional .keep in the directory
find . -empty -type d -exec touch {}/.keep \;
# Store all data.
tar -cvpjf ~/kmail_backup.tar.bz2 kmail

AND

restore_kmail_data.sh

#/usr/bin/bash
# Go to where KDE apps store stuff
# Restore all data.
tar -cvjpf ~/kmail_backup.tar.bz2

You might need to restore the proper owner if the uid on the new installation 
changes. Or you could just drop the p above and hope.

All this was determine by 2 minutes in man :-P
