Please don't top-post - it makes reading in the archives difficult.  I've 
corrected the layout in this one.

If you have kde 4.2 there is now an option in Dolphin called Compress which 
can make a gzipped tar archive.  Just right-click on 
/home/username/.kde4/share/apps/kmail and use the Compress facility.  I'd 
recommend that you also do one on /home/username/.kde4/share/config.  

I've just had a nasty crash, and am wishing that I had done that.  I shall do 
now, once I've got everything sorted again.
