All you need to do is Backup the folder: /Users/"your account"/Library/Mail AND THE MAIL PREFERENCE FILE: /Users/"your account"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist Without this preference file mail.app will have no idea what to do with the Mail Folder. I have backups of my mail like this which I keep for safety sake and to transfer mail from Mac to Mac. This method has never failed me. Alex
