*Both Rooting and setting up the backup are potentially hazardous to your  Droid. You are responsible for everything that happens to your phone while following this tutorial, NOT ME. If you have problems while doing this, I may be able to help you if you email me at tyler@tan-com.com or PM me on Freenode IRC network (nick: Flakeparadigm).

KMail: Settings > Configure KMail...

I just moved over to KDE 3.5 (the good old days) and was migrating everything over to Kontact (which includes Akregator) and decided it would be nice to import my Google Reader feeds into Akregator. I’ve compiled steps on how I did this myself.

1. Head over to Google Reader (http://google.com/reader/) and go to the “Import/Export” tab under your settings.

Google Reader : Settings > Import/Export
