Since KDE 3 saves data in ~/.kde and KDE4 in ~/.kde4 there's no problem with a "clean start".
It's the opposite problem: I want all the mails I received during the KDE4 time back in the
Kontact/KDE3!

Again this is about deleting data to get a clean start, which is not my problem.
I want to transfer the configuration and the email data similar to what
the KDE3-to-KDE4 migrator does. I want to have an archive of emails
within Kmail to search also old emails. 


I just tried to copy config/kmailrc and apps/kmail from
~/.kde4/share/ to ~/.kde/share and start the KDE3 kontact,
but the configuration for incoming servers email was lost.
(It seems to work for Identities & outcoming servers)

Regards,
	Martin
