I take this opportunity to point you to the KMail FAQ at 
userbase.kde.org. Since your question is probably the MFAQ (most 
frequently asked question) on this mailing list it is of course 
answered there:

FWIW, I prefer Werner's approach to copy all of ~/.kde over the 
copy-only-what's-needed approach.

It should just work, but we cannot guarantee it.
