Hi,  Malte.  If your old stuff is in ~/.kde  and the new stuff in ~/.kde4 it's 
easy - or the old stuff in a backup somewhere.  There are two places to look 
for files to copy across - ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail and ~/.kde/share/config/.  
From the apps directory you will also want kabc for your contacts and 
kwallet/.  From the config directory you will want kmailrc,  emailidentities 
and and kwalletrc.  (I don't see a config file for kabc or kaddressbook on 
this installation, but if there is one, pick that up as well.)

As long as you are using the kde3-based Kontact it's perfectly safe to copy 
any of these files across.  I suspect that when we get the Akonadi version 
that might change, but we're not there yet.
