*raises hand*
Just got rid of my Mozilla mail just recently. Moving everything by
hand to organize the crap on my server drive so I could archive it to CD
or tape and I wasn't paying attention. Somehow I managed to move my
MozillaMail directory on top of my KDE desktop directory and bork both.
Still kicking myself...
