migrating kmail to new computer

[John White]

I have pretty much spent the weekend on this project and have moved all the 
email over to the new (used) computer (all are Pop-3).   Now the problem is 
that for some reason kmail keeps adding "unnamed" identities in the setup for 
sending and receiving messages.
