Having struggled monumentally with KMail over the last several months, I got fed up enough with setting up a new user from scratch that I now have a fresh user set up and ready to go. It has the few things I want to keep in my own account, and an empty directory structure for KMail. All I have to do is (re)move the old account, copy the ready account into place and go. That would be harder if I didn't have a ~/common partition containing everything I'd need if I installed another distro but without the version- specific KDE stuff. It's a hangover from the days when I hadn't settled on a single distro, but it's proved its worth this year. -- Regards, Peter.
