The supported upgrade path is from either 11.10 to 12.04 LTS or from 
10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. You can only jump from one release to the next 
release or from one LTS release to the next LTS release. Therefore your 
path would be 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 LTS. But frankly, as 
every step takes quite some time, I would install 12.04 LTS instead of 
upgrading. However I would make sure at the partitioning step that I 
would reuse the existing partition and NOT format it. Then the /home 
folder should be preserved. Even though I did this successfully several 
times already, I would still make a backup of my valuable data before 
the install because you never know if something goes wrong. One final 
warning: 12.04 comes with the new kmail2 which is not yet production 
ready IMHO.
