Had another thought. I backed up my /home partition using Konqueror. I do not remember whether as root or my own user. I also don't remember whether KMail was running at that time or not. But: If KMail had been running, would that have prevented the mail files from being copied? In Windows, when a particular file is in use, I am prevented from deleting it but not from copying it. I wonder how Linux works in this matter. Can anyone please run KMail and while running it try to copy their mail folder to another partition and tell me whether all their mail files get transferred?
