I've wandered way too far beyond what is deemed fit and proper and kmail has taken 
it upon itself to reorganise all my kmail configurations, remove my mail filters 
and create threaded mail folders which also conveniently containerise my mail 
according to the time on earth at time of arrival.

My offense was probably seting up a script called from /usr/bin/startkde which 
changes my ~/.kde between kde3 and kde4 dependinging on which version is 
installed on Slack system loaded, either 12.2 (stable) or /current (beta). 

Besides /kab, /kabc, and konquerors bookmarks.xml nothing else was copied over to 
the kde4 ./kde except share/apps/kmail and the share/config/ kmail .rc's.

Happily my kde3 .kde is intact so everything is still good there and that's where 
I'm writing from, on KDE-3.5.10 on the brink. I'll start a new thread .... matter

I could've figured you were a writer before checking out your website
