Yes I have done that

There seems to be a bit of strange behaviour here - I tried this but the kmail 
left behind said it was a shell script protecting against some internal 
library dependencies so I need to investigate further - nevertheless ...

The problem with that approach is that it also uses the same
.kde/share/config/kmailrc file as my normal working copy. I suspect (more than 
that - its a certainty:-( ) that as part of what I want to do I will break 
it, leaving me unable to communicate with the outside world and get help.
