I have only one email account, but I have folders with more than 4000
messages.  My email has migrated forward through many different versions
of both Ubuntu and OpenSuSE and I have quite a few messages from pre-Y2K
because they are still historically relevant.

I gave up on KDEPim and will soon be forced to give up on KDE because of
the way Evolution works on it, all because there isn't a clean
backup/restore for the entire PIM like there is with Evolution.

I'm willing to bet the bulk of this user's problem stems from the
completely undocumented half-arsed methods of migrating email forward
via KDEPIM.  That "copy your home directory, then restore after install"
trashes sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many things.  Because you don't have
a guaranteed-to-work-backup-and-restore-migration-utility built into the
product, the odds of getting them to wipe and clean install are null.
The "clean install" will most likely involve copying some files around
to save things, which is where the problem was created in the first
place.
