Hi Johnathan, It works. In the tilde slash library folder, you have a mail volder. Inside it is a v2 folder. In it, all of mail's stuff is stored. I just restored everything perfectly. The rules are in place, the accounts are all there. Only thing is, that you will have to enter all passwords for pop, imap and smtp servers again, because in a fresh lion install, they will not yet be in your key chain. Also, some general mail settings do not stick but that is no problem. Just go over the mail prefs and it's all set. Wonderful. Thanks. Paul. On Sep 13, 2011, at 5:31 PM, Jon Cohn wrote:
