I learned that the hard way yesterday... After my server-based Windows-profile got deleted and created again, I imported secring.gpg and pubring.gpg. And after quite some effort I even got my smartcard running again... So I totally agree with you. Do a clean export so that you can import everything again. Famous last words: If "weird stuff" happens (like gpg.exe working, but Enigmail refuses to see the keyring) check the registry-key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\gnupg for the string "HomeDir". I had to make it point to the location where the actual keyring is (on a USB-thumbdrive with a portable gpg...)
