I'm not a KMail user, but I guess for KMail it should easily work to set
the path to the maildir directory by KMail's preferences. IOW, don't
keep home, make a backup of home, you could copy it to another partition
and then set the path to the maildir directory by the new installed
KMail with an install that has got a complete new home.
For Evolution's maildir I copy links to a new home, so I can use it with
different installs.
