I normally grab every config file I need out of /etc including those for apache, samba, and my mail program (exim,postfix, whatever). plus if you have a mail directory in /var, you're gonna want to graball of that stuff. Unless you're using pop3 then you probably have it in your home directory. (I use IMAP cause it's so nice. Any way start with that.
