Got a new laptop and am busy installing it. So far so good. Next step is 
to move data from old to new.

This time I am not going for the easiest solution, to copy everything 
under /home/myname, but I want an as clean as possible solution. BUT 
want my mail, my mail accounts, my contacts, notes and information such 
as replied-to, filters etc copied over.

I am aware of this info:
http://userbase.kde.org/KMail/FAQs_Hints_and_Tips#Transfer_mail_and_settings_to_another_computer_.28or_another_user_account_on_the_same_machine.29

but is it still up to date after KAdressbook started using Akonadi?

I also found this in an old email:
Substitute the appropriate path below.

You need the following config files:

.kde4/share/config/emaildefaults
.kde4/share/config/emailidentities
.kde4/share/config/kmail.eventsrc
.kde4/share/config/kmailrc
.kde4/share/config/kaddressbookrc
.kde4/share/config/kresources/contact
.kde4/share/config/korgacrc
.kde4/share/config/korganizerrc
.kde4/share/config/knotesrc

and the following directories:

.kde4/share/apps/kmail
.kde4/share/apps/kabc
.kde4/share/apps/korganizer
.kde4/share/apps/knotes

If you use Akregator within Kontact, you will also need:

.kde4/share/config/akregator.eventsrc
.kde4/share/config/akregatorrc
.kde4/share/config/kopete.eventsrc

and the whole .kde4/share/apps/akregator directory.

is that a more "complete" list and has something changed since migration 
to Akonadi (this was pre-Akonadi Contacts)

Kind regards
Sinclair
