I keep all the personal stuff that has nothing to do with the install of

Same with .thunderbird and .mozilla. The
reason for leaving /home as part of the / (root) filesystem is that I
don't WANT old and busted config files carrying over to a fresh install.
I don't re-use entire Iceweasel and Icedove profiles for the same
reason. I backup/restore my bookmarks and address book from within the
applications. I keep my mail organized under Local Folders by year, and
I backup/restore those using filesystem tools -- it's probably not the
best way, but it seems to work (e.g. Icedove seems to tolerate older
mail directories/ index files).
