Thanks for replying :)

I have had kmail stability issues from day one of install (just crashed while 
sending this email) 

What files are you saving to move your address book (and kmail accounts ?) 
from system to system ? If I can save the configs, I will purge & re-install 
kmail, contact & kaddressbook
