if you find these files in your old config directory, then copy all of them into the new one while kmail is not running:

.trinity/share/config/kmail.eventsrc
.trinity/share/config/kmailrc
.trinity/share/config/kmailsnippetrc
.trinity/share/config/emaildefaults
.trinity/share/config/emailidentities

Directories, filters and almost everything is stored in kmailrc. You will want your emailidentities, too, I guess. The other ones are not so important unless you want your previously configured sounds etc.

In addition to the kmail data directory "/home/glen/.kde3/share/apps/kmail" which you already have copied, that should do the trick.

Stefan
