Saving all my emails-KMail


I use Kmail and I change the distro as new ones become available. When I start Kmail in the new install It starts with a clean sheet.

I go to my saved disk and copy over the .Mail folder and that gives me my Directoory structure back but when I try to read an old email it cant do it and it changes the listing to "No Subject, Sender Unknown, Date Unknown"

What directories do I need to move over to ensure it reads all the old emails ,they are there but can't be read?

The files you need to save are ~/.Mail, ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail, ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc.
