Your mail settings are stores in ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc It looks like you did not include hidden files in your backup. A convenient way to do a backup to CD or ftp/ssh is drakbackup It is in the drakxtools RPM (get the latest version of the updates mirror) derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
