Doh, forgot about that.

Sure, but be aware that POP3 will be an issue anyway. If you retrieve
any mail from your POP3 server without leaving them on the server (for
that test account), you won't see them in your main account.

Right. Before copying your ~/.gconf dir you may want to disable
automatically retrieval of mails for any POP3 account. That way, it
doesn't start downloading on startup for the test account.
