oop... i had the calendar/clock widget running in both the old machine
when i made the backup, and on the new machine when i tried to restore.
is this something serious enough that i should try it again, without
that widget running?

that's going to take some time... i was experiencing SMART problems on a
couple of disks, and to take care of the big disk -- 3TB -- which i had
been using as a "home" directory, i had to move all of the files --
approximately 750GB of information -- on to the internal drive. now the
3TB disk is being used by BackInTime, and i have no other place to put
the information, while i try various different techniques for restoring
my email.
what i was hoping is to restore /only/ the kmail directory, which,
really, is the only one that makes any difference.

that is a very good thing to know, because, as a last resort, i may end
up wiping the new machine and starting over...
