There is no reason to reinstall, you should just rename that directory 
so that KDE can regenerate it. Your Mail folders are already separate 
and you can copy over the rc files from the old .kde/share/config for 
kmail, kppp, knode and probably a lot of others. I think the dangerous 
ones are the panel, window manager, session manager stuff and prob a 
few others. Clean the dcop files and tmp and all should be right.
