I have been doing regular full backups of my /home/USER_NAME directory feeling 
confident that I was covered. A few days ago I needed to do a recovery and 
found all my e-mail gone. This was damned irritating, to say the least. Now, 
through research, I find this a common flaw in KMail and maildir formats. 
Damned irritating as well is the fact that I cannot find any information on 
how to do a backup of maildir. KMail does not have a backup feature, 
Konqueror fails, and both cp and rcp fail. How can a person backup their 
e-mail files with some degree of confidence that they can recover if 
required?
