What exactly did you try to copy?

I recommend that you copy at least the folders ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail 
and ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc (contains your addressbook) with everything 
they contain, and the files ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc and 
~/.kde/share/config/emailidentities.

If you want to make your life much easier, then you should simply copy 
all of ~/.kde to your laptop, unless you have very good reasons not to 
do so.
