  Laboriously copied the above 6 files/directories from .kde3 on the old 
box to .trinity on the new one.
   That did not work!  Kmail failed to start.  
   Deleted the 5 config files, restarted kmail, at least kmail started 
this time and my old mailboxes seem to have survived.

  There has gotta be a better way!
