I copied selected files like emailidentities, parts of kmailrc, etc.
and they seem to work fine.  Only two rather annoying problems:

I can't find the POP Filters to copy them over and so far all my
messages arrive in the main inbox.

I can't find the config file which contains the Outgoing mail account
settings (I have a number of outgoing accounts and would rather not
have to set them up manually again).

Any ideas where these are hiding?
