Where are stored email in kmail ??

I have a big problem.

I tried the software Acris ans it bug me my partition I'm unable to start my Linux system.

So with a Knoppix live cd I did a copy of my home directory.

Now I want to format and reinstall my system but I want to save my email.

Where are stored my email and address book on Kmail?

Thanks!

For kaddressbook, see my posts here:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...backup-640752/

For your emails, they are in /home/<username>/.kde/share/apps/kmail. The technique is the same as for kaddressbook, i.e. just copy over the kmail directory to your new install.
