This is how i do it,in my file manager (konqueor) home directory goto
view and click show hidden files. you will then see a mozilla folder
click mozilla\default\xxxx.slt\mail\Local Folders. Back up the Local
Folder. When you install your new system create your new email accounts
in mozilla mail and then copy your backed up Local Flder and paste it
into your new mozliia mail and let it overwrite the one that is there.
It works for me. Maury
