This is a nice idea. A tool which makes a snapshot of the relevant 
configuration files, so that you can e.g. setup a new account with the 
same mail filters, calendar and addressbook could have been useful to 
me in the past. But if something like this is written it should 
probably done in some generic way, so that you don't have to hardcode 
file locations or config file entries.
